Damon Castillo soon to release New Album “Mess Of Me” after Successful crowd funding campaign.

DamonSan Luis Obispo native Singer/Songwriter and Producer Damon recently launched an Indiegogo crowd funding campaign to complete his new album, Mess Of Me. With the overwhelming success of the campaign, not yet near completion, he looks to a significant release to a vastly growing fan base.

Mess Of Me” is the follow up to 2011’s “Live At The Mission” and 2009’s “Laurel Lane”, an album produced by Grammy-Award winner Ross Hogarth. Guests on “Laurel Lane” include, Sheila E., Rami Jaffe (Wallflowers, Foo Fighters), Sean Hurley (John Mayer, Alicia Keys, Vertical Horizon) and Lee Thornberg (Tower of Power and Supertramp).

The campaign (http://igg.me/at/damoncastillo/x/6903715) has already reached its first funding goal of $10,000 in only nine days since its kickoff on April 15th. Through fan support, Damon will finish the album that he began recording almost two years ago at his Laurel Lane Studios, including mixing, mastering, design, distribution, and promotion.

“I’m totally blown away by all the pledges”, said Damon. “I can’t tell you how grateful I am for all the support. I bet there’s a song in there somewhere!” Now that the first goal has been met, an additional stretch goal will enable the making of a music video.

It is 21+ show, and will start at 7:30pm. “SLO Brew feels like home”, said Damon. “I was lucky to be the first act to cross the SLO Brew Stage when Todd and Korie took it over in 2005! I can’t wait to come back.” Tickets for the release party are available here: http://www.ticketfly.com/event/547635-damon-castillo-cd-release-san-luis-obispo, Damon’s shows and events are sell out and often standing room only, so best get your tix now or you may have to wait for the tour.
