I have lived, studied and performed in Asia, Europe, Mexico and throughout the United States for more than two decades, and have had the pleasure of trading smiles with people from all over the world from behind my guitar.
The opportunity to instill in children a sense of cultural understanding through the powerful vehicle of music and storytelling combined has become a meaningful direction for my musical career. Over the last 10 years I have been performing educational storytelling shows for children in schools, libraries and theatres.
“Look no further for something as rare as a vocal capacity spanning the bluesy textured depths of Louis Armstrong, perfectly pitched tunes of princes of pop, kings of rock and and what have you not; With the playful ease of a passionate professional Richie Castro makes a century of musical feelgood in a broad range of genres come alive.
Folk, reggae, contemporary hits, latin and country. His energetic presence and dynamic performance will make you fall in love with Elvis and Disney classics (all over again) and you most certainly will find it hard to remain chair bound. Gotta hear this guy out, he is good.”
“In over 12 years of experience, this was one of the best programs we have had at our junior high school. Rich Castro kept our students and staff spell-bound with his storytelling and musical abilities. What a treat!”
“Rich is an amazing storyteller. You have to see his assembly to believe it! He mesmerizes the students and teachers. He has everyone dancing, laughing and learning together in a magical way.”
