Chris Castle
"An authentic connection to the world-weary soul of American roots music" - Cleveland Magazine
NOW BOOKING SOLO, DUO & FULL BAND SHOWS
Chris Castle builds the kind of songs that America grew up with. His music pays homage to the elements found within the past century of American popular music- drawing from classic Country, early Rock & Roll, Bluegrass, Folk, Blues, and even traditional Pop. Castle’s ability to seamlessly blend these genres into something all his own is a testament to his deep understanding of the tapestry of American music. These aren't period pieces; they're living, breathing songs, that carry the DNA of American roots music.
​
It's no surprise then, that he has found himself at home alongside some of the godfathers of modern Americana music. Castle has shared stages and studios with legendary artists like Garth Hudson (the Band), Chris Hillman (the Byrds), Tommy Ramone (the Ramones), Jimmy Webb, Ray Wylie Hubbard, 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 20 on multiple roots radio charts.
​
Castle has recently wrapped up a new album with the three-time Grammy winning duo of engineer Justin Guip (Hot Tuna, Levon Helm) and producer Larry Campbell, which is set to release later this year.
