Castle, Chris

Chris Castle is a Folk/Americana singer-songwriter from Ohio/New London. He has shared stages with acts like: Chris Hillman (the Byrds), Jimmy Webb, Tommy Ramone (the Ramones), Junior Brown, Radney Foster, Amy Speace, the Wood Brothers...

Over the past three years, Chris Castle has shared stages with some amazing artists, including: Chris Hillman (the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Brothers), Tommy Ramone (the Ramones, Uncle Monk), Radney Foster, Jimmy Webb, Richard Shindell, Junior Brown, Jonathan Edwards, Peter Case, the everybodyfields, Jeff Black, Herb Pederson, Will Kimbrough, Eilen Jewell, Tommy Womack, Jim White, and the Wood Brothers.

His 2007 release, Hollow Bones in Monotone, garnered both airplay and media attention (tv and print) in places like Ohio, Tennessee, Washington, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Florida, and Michigan.

In 2008, Castle recorded the follow-up, Crazy Wind, at the home studio of Levon Helm (the Band, Bob Dylan). Overdubs and mixes were later done in New Hampshire, and conflicts of interest would shelve the album indefinitely. Chris released Songbook Volume One (a 20-track collection of live recordings, early demos and outtakes) in the Fall of 2009.

Castle's lastest disc, Perfect World was released in December of 2010. He is currently on the road with the Womack Family Band, as part of the Drenched Earth Tour. They've been featured on NBC Cleveland, ABC Lexington, WDVX (Knoxville), NHPR, WCNI (New London, CT) and in Cleveland Magazine and the Erie Wire, among many other media outlets.
