  Ohio Grown Volume One is a sixteen-track compilation disc, featuring artists from in and around Huron County, Ohio.  Chris Castle, the Womack Family Band, Kevin Obermeyer, Scott Stiert, Tommy Christian, Emily Keener, Bradley Mayer, Chad Miller, the Relations, Grandpa BB, Allen Carder and Chu Dat Frawg all lent their talents to the project, which was recorded and mixed in an 8 x 12' Blanket Fort in north central Ohio from November through February. The disc has already been added by stations as far-reaching as Ohio, Michigan, France, Germany, Finland and Australia. We celebrated the official release on March 9th with a live show at the Red Iron (Wellington, OH) to more than 300 people. No one performed the Harlem Shake.

Ohio Grown Volume One T-Shirts To commemorate the album release, we've printed a limited number of Ohio Grown (Gildan 100% pre-shrunk cotton) T's. Available in all sizes and in four colors: Natural Tan, Military Green, Indigo Blue and Black.  Available at the Dirtsandwich Online Store. Nine Months on the Americana Radio Charts  Last Bird Home first entered the Roots Music Report Chart in the second week of January. Within a week, the disc had also appeared on the Roots 66, AMA and FAR charts, reaching peak positions of #5 on the Roots Music Report Chart, #7 on the Roots 66 Chart, and #26 on both the FAR and AMA internet charts. The album last charted at Roots 66, holding their #65 spot until September 5th- nine long months after its initial radio release. As a garage-run label with no outside radio promoter, we were blessed to have the support of so many Americana music directors and DJs. We were also blessed to have Justin Guip at Levon Helm Studios for tracking and mixing, Dave McNair at Sterling Sound for mastering, and the many talented musicians who lent their gifts to the record: the Band's Garth Hudson, Sister Maud Hudson, Tommy Ramone (the Ramones), Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Levon Helm Band), Gabriel Butterfield, the Womack Family Band, Carl Franklin, Sandy Allen, Daphne Lee Martin, Brendan McDonough and Chase Castle. |
"Talented singer-songwriter Chris Castle's Last Bird Home (Dirtsandwich Music) is a collection of eleven folk-rock tunes recorded at Levon Helm Studios by Justin Guip with guest appearances by Garth Hudson, Larry Campbell, the Womack Family Band and Tommy Ramone. Credibility is obviously not an issue for Chris, and although you probably haven't heard of Castle (bonus points if you have), you will."
