Electric six-string violinist Geoffrey Castle fearlessly brings the violin back to center stage with virtuoso showmanship and a 21st-century attitude.
Geoffrey is considered a pioneer on the electric six-string violin. From his beginnings as a street musician in New York City and Paris, he rose to play in the Tony Award winning Broadway production of M. Butterfly. A theme of Castle's career is to destroy people's pre-conceived notions of what is possible on a violin, which he does every time he takes the stage. A bandleader and solo artist – with several critically acclaimed releases on his own Twisted Fiddle Music label – Geoffrey Castle has also managed to share stages with an illustrious group of musicians including Blues Traveler, all of the original and current members of Heart, Buddy Miles, and Alan White of Yes.
