Country sister trio, The Castellows, have signed a label deal with Warner Music Nashville and Warner Records.

The neo-traditional act—comprised of Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals)—began to turn heads of music industry insiders from coast to coast in January 2023 with their online presence that showcased their rich harmonies. The Castellows signed with Make Wake Artists for management and WME for global representation earlier this year.

“Every moment spent in the presence of The Castellows is nothing short of captivating,” shares Warner Music Nashville’s Co-Chair & Co-President, Cris Lacy. “Their sibling harmony, their musical prowess, and their songs—that tell not only their own stories, but generational truths about their family—combine to create a sound that is genuine and original. Ellie, Lily and Powell are superstars. Full Stop.”

Warner Records’ Co-Chairman & CEO, Aaron Bay-Schuck says “From the moment we met The Castellows, we knew they were the real deal. Not only was their talent and star power immediately apparent, but they were also unapologetically themselves. The personality that Ellie, Lily, and Powell display with their social posts and the stories they tell with their music are consistent with who they are in real life, and it’s this authenticity along with their determination and drive to be truly great that will make them an unstoppable force. Going on this journey in partnership with Cris Lacy, Ben Kline, and the whole Warner Nashville company, along with Chris Kappy and the Make Wake team, makes it all even more exciting and rewarding.”

The Castellows spent the summer of 2023 writing and recording. Their debut song “No. 7 Road,” which they co-wrote with Hillary Lindsey, is available now.
