Recently released EP Revolving Door introduces the rest of the world to an artist whose talent and charisma are already well known to his fans. The five-song collection is a remarkably accomplished effort, offering the same combination of raw emotion and polished songcrafting that initially drew hometown fans to the singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer’s live shows. Currently, Damon and his band are working on the follow-up to Revolving Door in their studio in San Luis Obispo, CA. It is obvious, even in the rough mixes, that Damon Castillo is an artist coming into his own. Expect to love it.After writing and demoing a whole new batch of songs at his studio (Laurel Lane) in San Luis Obispo CA, Damon Castillo didn’t cruise down to the beach and take the weekend off. He went to New York City. “There were sounds and ideas that I couldn’t quite reach at my studio at that time.” Through contacts, Damon found himself down on 19th street at Smythe & Company where he met an engineer named Stephane Guyot. “Me and Stephane hit it off, and I knew I wanted to work with him.” And that’s just what he did, producing the five tracks that would become “Revolving Door” with additional help from his profoundly-talented twin brother Dominic and the gifted multi-instrumentalist Nathan Szytel.
