A world revolution has been brewing in Seattle since 1995. It’s not laid back, it’s exhilarating! Crowds of all sizes, shapes and colors stream to convivial settings and concert halls to see what the matter could be. The matter is music. Colorful, rich blends of global sound fuse into cool rhythms forging warm, percussive, upbeat tunes. This infectious musical movement is Castle & Schussler, (originally known as The Guarneri Underground).

Unwittingly defying the traditional trappings of music biz gradation, Castle & Schussler fuels their rise to the top of the New World Music category with incendiary chemistry.“A Castle & Schussler show is a musical trip around the world,” says Geoffrey. “We have been known to take audiences from Puerto Rico to Ireland to a small island in the middle of the Nile River in Egypt within the space of fifteen minutes. Think of us as a high-energy virtuoso musical version of the travel channel.”

Well known as the Pacific Northwest’s leading New World Music festival band, Castle & Schussler have appeared on the main stages of the Festival at Sandpoint, The Eugene Celebration, Oregon Country Fair, Bumbershoot, Utah Arts Festival, Tacoma Zoobilee, Tacoma First Night, and the Juan de Fuca Festival.
