Never underestimate the power of a good photograph

The Phoenix New Times posted upcoming show announcements and happened along a familiar face. Many well known artists coming to town but the write-up (and picture) is all Jason. They seem to be waiting for him to show them his stuff. I'm sure Jason will only be too happy to oblige.

In Good Company (Right, Laura Anne?)

Billboard has released some single reviews and who should be headlining right next to John Mayer? That's right, Jason Castro. It's another very positive article.

SINGLE: LET'S JUST FALL IN LOVE AGAIN

With this year's top "American Idol" finalists nearing the release of their solo debuts, it might be easy to forget that season seven's Jason Castro is also putting out his own on Nov. 17. Luckily, his first single is strong enough to redirect some attention toward him....

Jason breaks into the Billboard Hot 100!

Jason's first single, "Let's Just Fall in Love Again", debuted this week at number 59 on Billboard's Hot 100 Digital Songs. Nearly 23,000 digital copies have sold in the one week since its release with only word of mouth advertising and a few radio plays in a small handful of cities.

Jason is currently preparing for a radio tour to promote the single. In the midst of the tour, a few live shows have already been confirmed:

September 17 - Little Rock, AR - Metroplex
September 18 - Kansas City, MO - TBD
September 25 - Dallas, TX - Texas State Fair

I imagine this tour will find the single moving up the charts faster than even we anticipated. It will be exciting to see just how far it goes.

"Let's Just Fall in Love Again" is currently streaming live on Jason's official website, http://www.jasoncastromusic.com. While you're there, be sure to pre-order his debut album, slated for release on November 17th.

SLS Summer Listening Series

Two lucky Goth Girls were able to attend a private acoustic showcase in Beverly Hills featuring Jason, and they brought back these two fabulous videos for us to enjoy.

A big thanks to Kate and Colleen for thinking of us!

Jason Castro, "Hidden Gem"

Great review of Jason's performance at The Grove.

This reporter/photographer was up front and center thinking that this would be another "American Idol" contestant just making an appearance to keep his exposure alive. What a mistake. Jason Castro was greeted with complimentary cheers from the Michelle Branch fans. However, once Castro strummed that first note on his guitar, there was no doubt this former "Idol" contestant can carry his own performance.

It makes my heart happy that others are finally starting to see what we've known all along. Jason Castro is the real deal.

Michael Slezak talks to Jason!

Michael Slezak, our favorite EW journalist, talks to Jason about his new single. My favorite excerpt from the interview:

EW: What about the whistling that starts the track? Where did you come up with that?
JC: It’s the melody from the chorus. It was going to be some line, maybe a guitar line — but the whistling just kind of stuck out. It felt like that kind of song. When have you heard whistling lately? So we were like “Let’s whistle it up!”

EW: Who’s doing the whistling? You?
JC: That is not me, you would be surprised! Don’t tell anybody! Everybody in the studio took turns. We can all whistle — but it wasn’t like that whistle. [Laughs.] That was the key to the project, finding a whistler.

EW: Did someone win the whistle-off?
JC: Somebody in the studio. And actually we brought in an outside whistler, and I don’t want to say it, but he couldn’t cut it. But I don’t want to talk bad about any whistlers around town or anything.

An "outside whistler...couldn't cut it". Jason, you crack my shit up. Made me laugh out loud in real life. So damn cute the two of them. Great, great article. Click here to read the whole thing.
