Jason Castro PCM Interview
 
Jason Castro

"I have a simple goal" says Jason Castro, "and that is to create songs that grab you by the soul and make you feel! Songs that inspire! Songs that give joy! Songs that make you dream!" With his warm, evocative vocals and distinctive charisma, Jason Castro has already earned bountiful acclaim and a fervent fan following. And only a few shows into his first national tour, Jason is receiving some pretty good feelings!

Jason Castro hit the road last week with Caitlin Crosby and label-mate Matt Hires on a cross-country tour. The "American Idol" alum is only a few shows in, and his set is already receiving great reviews. The New York Times checked out Wednesday night's show and reflected on the journey that Castro has made from his American Idol audition to his "magnetic set" at Joe's Pub.

They rave that Jason's "The Love Uncompromised EP", his prelude to a full album this spring, is "among the most sure-footed records, debut or otherwise, by an "Idol" contestant from any season. Partly that's because Mr. Castro has had time to marinate, and to woodshed. His season's winner, David Cook, and runner-up, David Archuleta, both released debut albums about six months after the season finale. But no one rushed Mr. Castro to pin down his style, and he certainly didn't rush himself. He's got it down cold now, though: 1960s pop with bright guitars, slashed through with a contrarian streak. It's as if he were still stuck in one of the genre-themed weeks on "Idol," but the most apt one. Jack Johnson and Jason Mraz should be nervous."

PCM's Alicia Tamayo interviewed Jason Castro before his show last Tuesday at the World Cafe Live in Philadelphia, PA. Watch the interview below and hear what Jason has to say about American Idol, touring, and more!
