People are talking. Talking about some skinny guy in Cleveland with a suit and a Martin acoustic, who supposedly writes songs like nobody's heard in decades.
He plays more than 150 dates a year, sharing stages with: Chris Hillman & Herb Pederson, Junior Brown, Richard Shindell, Jimmy Webb, Jonathan Edwards, Amy Speace, Tommy Ramone, Will Kimbrough, Jeff Black, Fiona McBain (of Ollabelle), the Wood Brothers, Eilen Jewell, Tommy Womack, Jim White, Peter Case, and The Everybodyfields. He recorded his last disc at the Woodstock home of American music legend Levon Helm.
Castle has been called one of the five "Unknown Artist You'll Love" by No Depression Magazine and a "rising Americana stand-out" by Folk Alley, while the Day's Rick Koster has dubbed him "a visionary songwriter".
Grown men cry when this guy opens his mouth. Jeff Black says he writes great songs, and the last living original Ramone agrees. And chances are, if you catch one of Castle's live shows (or a few of his YouTube videos), you'll be talking, too.
