The Castellows Announce New ‘Homecoming’ EP & Tour
The Castellows shared with fans while on stage at their debut Stagecoach appearance this past weekend that they’ll release their new Homecoming EP on May 30 via Warner Music Nashville and Warner Records.
The trio recently released “Sheltered” from the upcoming project, an autobiographical tune that explores the unique life experiences they had being homeschooled and growing up on a farm. Earlier this year, the Georgia-born singers released their take on Patty Loveless’ “You Don’t Even Know Who I Am” and their collaboration with Flatland Cavalry, “Place They Call Home,” which also appear on the new EP.
“Homecoming encompasses the way we’ve been feeling for the last year,” say The Castellows. “A lot of these songs are very personal to us and share our convictions about the world. We take our listeners on a bit of a journey through these songs, and our hope is that they’ll get to know us better after listening. One way to sum up the EP is through our favorite lyric on the whole project. It’s from the chorus of ‘Freeway’: ‘You don’t know what you’re feeling until you hear it in a song.’”
The band also revealed they’ll be hitting the road this fall for their headlining “The Homecoming Tour,” kicking off in Austin on Sept. 13.
