Damon Castillo Band Visit Laurel Lane

(PR) The Damon Castillo Band released their new 13-track album, Laurel Lane, November 4th. Combining the talent of Kristian Ducharme on keys, Jennings Jacobsen on drums, and Larry Kim on saxophone with Damon Castillo's prolific songwriting, vocals, and guitar chops, the band creates a sound that is a statement among this day of manufactured music. Each member is a master-musician with a diverse past playing jazz, funk, rock, and soul. Their prowess comes through on every note, dynamically punctuating Damon's soulful lyrics, at times mournful, and often larger than life. Grammy-Award-Winner, Ross Hogarth, produced the record and special guest musicians include: Sheila E., Rami Jaffe (Wallflowers, Foo Fighters), Lee Thornburg (Tower of Power, Supertramp), Lon Price (Elvis Presley, Alan Toussaint, Ziggy Marley) and Sean Hurley (Alicia Keys, John Mayer). Damon describes the process of taking their unique sound and "distilling" it down for the album, "Duke Ellington had it right when he said, 'If it sounds good, it IS good.' The guys and I don't care about genres or style lines
It's nothing that I consciously maneuver; I just try to make it feel right." More than anything, the record is a throw-back to the old days, when artists played their own music in a studio and created songs that were enjoyable not only for their passion, but also for their honesty. "It's not the homogenized production where you can't hear the music. You will hear real musicians playing real tunes," says Damon.
