"(Matt Seidel / For The Times) SANTA YNEZ - Shaun Cassidy steers his Dodge Ram 250 into the parking lot of the Maverick Saloon and throws open the truck's passenger door, refrigerated air whooshing out of the cab, where he sits behind the wheel wearing sunglasses, black jeans and a black T-shirt. The onetime teen idol who topped Billboard's Hot 100 in 1977 with his chirpy cover of the Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron""
" - this was seven years after Cassidy's mother, Shirley Jones, and his half brother, David Cassidy, hit No. 1 as the Partridge Family with "I Think I Love You" - has made a lunch reservation at a vineyard not far from where he lives in Santa Barbara County so the two of us can talk about his upcoming concert tour."
"The drive also allows Cassidy, 66, to show off a bit of the picturesque region he's called home since 2011, when he moved from Hidden Hills with his wife, Tracey, and their four children. (He has three more children from two previous marriages.) 'It's not as remote as it was before the pandemic,' says Cassidy, who's spent the last few decades working behind the scenes in television."

Cassidy has made a lunch reservation at a nearby vineyard to discuss an upcoming concert tour. He moved to the Santa Ynez Valley in 2011 with his wife Tracey and their four children and has three additional children from previous marriages. Cassidy has worked behind the scenes in television and says the pandemic made the area feel less remote.
