Chris Castle builds the kind of songs that three generations of America grew up with. His music contains many of the elements found in the past century of American music, drawing from classic Country, early Rock & Roll, Bluegrass, Folk, and Pop. His ability to seamlessly blend these genres into something all his own is a testament to his deep love and understanding of the tapestry of American roots music. The songs are nostalgic, but they aren't period pieces; they're living, breathing songs that carry the DNA of the pioneers who came before him.

​

It's no surprise then, that Castle has found himself at home alongside some of the godfathers of modern Americana music. He has shared stages and studios with legendary artists like Garth Hudson (the Band), Chris Hillman (the Byrds), Tommy Ramone (the Ramones), Jimmy Webb, and Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson). His 2012 release, Last Bird Home, was recorded at the storied Levon Helm Studios in Woodstock, NY and broke the top 10 on multiple roots radio charts.

​

Castle's latest release, Long Way to the Bottom, is his first full-length studio album in over a decade. Tracked with the 3x Grammy-winning studio duo of engineer Justin Guip (the Black Crowes, Hot Tuna) and producer Larry Campbell, it showcases the strength of Castle's songs, and sees them dressed in their finest clothes.
