Albert Castiglia at Lakeview Lodge

Contemporary blues musician Albert Castiglia will be performing Sunday, July 30 at Lakeview Lodge in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania in support of his new release "A Stone's Throw."For his young age, Castiglia has history -- Blues history. In 1990 he joined The Miami Blues Authority and won "Best Blues Guitarist" from New Times Magazine in 1997. The legendary Junior Wells discovered Castiglia and immediately hired him as his own guitarist/vocalist on several world tours.After Wells' passing, Castiglia toured with Atlanta blues singer Sandra Hall and then ventured out on a solo career and released "Burn" working with his longtime friend, Graham Wood Drout of Iko-Iko.

"A Stone's Throw" is his sophomore national solo release for Blues Leaf Records, available as of the event date in major retail outlets. Castiglia will tour the U.S. in Spring and Summer of 2006 with his band in support of this new release.
