Christmas
came early
for us today when we learned that Domain
Hall of Famer David Castello will
be bringing bree
(the rapidly rising Nashville-based rock
trio he manages and plays drums for)
to our town (Tampa, Florida) for
the first time when the band goes on a USA
tour that will run through next spring
and summer (additional dates will be announced
soon). bree
(all lower case letters) will be featured
at WMNF
Radio's annual Tropical Heatwave
festival - a Tampa institution that has
been showcasing the hottest new artists in
the music world for over 30 years
now. bree's set will be played at the
historic Cuban Club in Ybor City
on May 10, 2014 (you heard it here
first, even WMNF hasn't released the 2014
Heatwave line up yet). It
will be David and lead
singer/guitarist/songwriter bree's first
trip back to Tampa since last July when
they came to town for a visit my wife
Diana and I. At the time they promised
they would come back to play on
stage one day and we can finally mark
that day on the calendar. 2013
has been a busy and bountiful year for
bree. They released their first CD, All
American Girl, to rave
reviews in June (LegendaryRockInterviews.com
named it one of the year's 10
best albums). Three weeks ago they
released a phenomenal video
for one of the album's most widely played
tracks, "I'm the Boss,"
that has already attracted over 22,000
views on YouTube. |
David
Castello and bree at Bern's Steak
House in Tampa during their
last trip to the city in July 2013. That
was a pleasure trip. They will be back on
business May 10, 2014 when bree
plays the Tropical Heatwave
festival in historic Ybor City. |
David
and his brother Michael (who own Castello
Cities Internet Network) have
made many friends in the domain industry
over the years. When David moved to
Nashville a couple of years ago in a
return to his first love - music - many of
those friends feared they wouldn't see
as much of him any more. However, if
bree keeps heading in the direction they
are going now, you may wind up seeing
David, bree and bass player Maryk
McNeely everywhere you turn. Same
smiling faces - but in a lot of
different places! |
