Chris Castle has shared stages and studios with some legendary Americana acts, including: Garth Hudson (the Band), Tommy Ramone (the Ramones), Chris Hillman (the Byrds), and Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, the Black Crowes). The Day’s Rick Koster calls him a “tunesmith of almost scary vision, narrative acumen and hooky instinct” adding “writing songs is utterly programmed into his DNA”. Castle’s latest album, Long Way to the Bottom, was produced by Campbell, and features some of his finest songs to date. He’s currently dragging a trunk-full of originals across the eastern half of the US, playing solo and duo shows.
