LOS ANGELES, CA - February 12, 2007 - Well-known recording artists,
the Damon Castillo Band, have been signed to perform on the Main Stage
at the Amgen Tour of California Lifestyle Festival presented by Health
Net throughout the upcoming eight-day cycling road race beginning
February 18th. The California-based, five-piece band will perform at
each of the tour's progressive stops on the 650-mile course from San
Francisco to Long Beach. More than 1.3 million spectators attended a
portion of the inaugural event in 2006.
All five members of the Damon Castillo Band hail from the Golden
State, and together create a sound that is uniquely California, rock,
funk and soul. They have a massive West Coast following that thrives
on the band's distinctive sound and dynamic live performances, which
include a horn section, keyboard, drums, bass and Damon Castillo on
vocals and masterful guitar.
On being the headlining band for crowds that reach into the thousands
at each tour stop Damon says, "One of the things I'm excited about,
besides the spectacle of it all, is being part of the biggest sporting
event in California. It's great to have something like this running
through your home town (San Luis Obispo) and something to be proud of;
it's history in the making."
The band is taking a brief respite from recording their next 13-track
album with Grammy-Award-winning music producer, Ross Hogarth, to join
the Amgen Tour of California. After the success of their acoustic EP,
Revolving Door, fans are eagerly awaiting this next installation of
music, which Damon describes as, "a more distilled version of their
band sound, autobiographical and a statement among this day of
manufactured music." Reflecting the very reason their fans flock to
their live shows, Damon sums up their new songs and the sound of the
next album, "It's not the homogenized, layered, production where you
can't hear the musicians. You will be able to hear real musicians
playing real tunes."
