I have always been an advocate of community outreach performances—from college to kindergarten, it's always fun to go back to school! If you'd like to have me visit your school for assembly performances, and classroom workshops, get in touch!
Electric Six-string Violinist Geoffrey Castle fearlessly brings the violin back to center stage with virtuoso showmanship and a 21st century attitude.

Do you have an iPhone? Does anyone you know have an iPhone? Head on over to the App Store look for Violin Guy. That's me! My friends at Playvisions made this amazing thing happen. Violin Guy lets you play 13 Celtic tunes with your iPhone—you can start and stop, and the music picks back up where you left off, and depending on how hard you shake your phone you can control how loud or soft the music plays. Get your Irish up!! Amaze your friends! And it's only costs $1.99 to download the thing. Crazy!

Streets of Inwood: Celtic Soul ⇐ New!
Geoffrey Castle combines old school R&B, funk, jazz, blues, and
gospel with traditional Celtic melodies. These seven songs feature
performances by Alan White (drummer for John Lennon, Yes), Ben Smith
(drummer for Heart), Garey Shelton (Grammy-winning bass player) and Eric
Robert (the keyboardist featured on Underhill's Angel).

For The Holidays: Underhill's Angel
I wanted to make a CD with songs that predated the commercialization of
Christmas. Melodies that are 200, 300, 400, 800 years old. A CD with
deep spiritual roots, and a sound that feels right now, full of
inspiration and improvisation. Eric Robert and I went into the studio
with Grammy award-winning bassist Garey Shelton and these ancient
melodies—some of which will be familiar, and some that I am sure
will become new favorites—and we followed our own path. The result
really is magical.
New World—Remastered!
My friend, fellow violinist, and songwriting partner John
Schussler and I have remastered the source of many of today's
audience favorites. New World features a who's-who
of the Seattle music scene (including Grammy-winning guitarist
Eric Tingstad, studio and performance giants Ben Smith and Garey
Shelton, Jovino Santos Neto, Dan Tyack, Jami Sieber, Mike
Gordon, and more…I think it's the best ensemble recording
project I've ever done. And now it sounds better than ever!
