A pioneer on the electric six-string violin, Geoffrey Castle sets out to destroy people’s pre-conceived notions of what is possible on a violin.
A bandleader and solo artist—with several critically acclaimed releases on his own Twisted Fiddle Musical Label---Castle has also managed to share stages with such illustrious musicians as Blues Traveler, Heart, Buddy Miles and Alan White of Yes.
Catch him in concert May 31 and June 1 at 7 p.m. at San Juan Community Theatre in Friday Harbor. Tickets Adults/$15 and Student Reserved/$5. Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office.
Castle’s Friday Harbor appearances are sponsored by the Friday Harbor Elementary School PTA as a fundraiser for the school’s arts program. In addition to his concerts, Castle will host an assembly and workshops at the school during the afternoon of May 31.
