Take three early 20s South Georgia sisters with a rural upbringing, mix in some spare time, musical interests, and tons of talent. What’s the outcome?  In the best of circumstances, a band as impressive and energetic as the Castellows. 

Ellie (guitar and keyboards), Powell (banjo and mandolin), and Ellie (lead vocals) bring angelic harmonies to a variety of music that will touch hearts and rock the room.

On Thursday night the Castellows (pronounced cast-ell-ahs) played as the headline act for the first time in their new home town of Nashville at the iconic Brooklyn Bowl. The hour-plus show was a rousing success. The downtown music venue (capacity 1,200) was three-quarters full and fully engaged. The trio adds four men to round out the Homecoming Tour band (who oddly weren’t introduced) and can rock a room. Their set was tight and their song transitions so quick and seamless that the audience didn’t have time to finish applauding before they were roaring into another tune. It was impressive.

While their music gets U.S. airplay on both country and Americana stations, they fit comfortably in either genre. The titles for songs “Miss America” and “Heartland”  are cleverly written misdirections  and worth a listen. Perhaps their most famous tune is “Sober Sundays,” a collaboration with  Wyatt Flores. But another collab, “Place They Call Home,” brought the house down when Flatland Cavalry’s Cleto Cordero took the stage as a counter to the young women’s heavenly harmonies.

The Castellows are scheduled to play a March 6, 2026, show at Rum Runners in London. Catch them now before they start headlining much bigger venues.
