David Castello Update: Bree is Killing It in the UK and He is About to Release His First Novel

It's been awhile since I've updated you on the adventures of David Castello who, as many of you know, returned to his musical roots in 2011 after blazing a trail through the domain industry with his brother Michael (also a veteran musician) via Castello Cities Internet Network

While Michael continues to run CCIN,  David turned his attention to playing drums for Nashville based rock trio bree - a group named after Bree Castello, the band's dynamic singer/songwriter/guitarist who is also David's wife (bassist Maryk McNeely completes the powerful line up). The band has spent much of this year touring the UK where their popularity is surging.

While in the UK shooting also began on a new documentary about Bree and the band that is being directed by Gregg Houston for Babysweet Productions. The release date for the full documentary has not been set yet, but David sent me a 3-minute trailer for the production that will give you some great insight into what the band is all about (click the Play button below):

 

 

While being part of a hot rock trio would be enough of a creative outlet for most people, David is not most people. He has always had a scholar's interest in World War II history (and is, in fact, an expert on that topic). So, having just gotten back from the band's latest swing through the UK, he decided to use the short break to publish his first novel - The Diary Of An Immortal

David expects to get the final cover back this week, the last task before publication. The 1920 photo at right is a rough mock up of it that shows an ancient medical school atop Chakpori Hill in Lhasa, Tibet that was destroyed by Chinese artillery in 1959. This location and incident will be a primary setting for the novel's narrative. I'll let you know when it has been released.

This latest news reminds yet again of how many highly creative and  talented people we have in (or that have passed through) our field. They certainly help make it a more interesting place to work and play!
