Dreams Unwind is a True Stevie Nicks Experience is a Dallas-based Stevie Nicks tribute band.

Dallas Asian Strings is a professional string duo/trio/quartet consisting of highly trained musicians.

It started with two brothers, Mark and Rick del Castillo collaborating on a recording project that was initially intended as a gift to their parents and family members for the holiday season. As accomplished electric guitarists in different bands and not having played together, they decided to join forces on acoustic nylon string guitars, creating a rich, romantic, more traditional sound in honor of the Spanish music they grew up listening to at home.  The brothers invited their long-time, home-town musical friends to also play on the songs and the music soon came to life. Once the album was finalized, it was titled after their namesake, “Brothers Of The Castle” and they performed their first public concert for family and friends to celebrate the release.

They planned to perform “one night only.” However, the very positive turnout was unlike any of their other bands. From their inception, Del Castillo became something uniquely special and soon the word spread about the new band. The more the band played, the more their audience grew.  They continued writing and recording music, building their repertoire, making more fans, and quickly becoming one of Austin’s most recognized bands. One of the instrumental songs from the first album, “Spanish Castle Tango” was later hand-picked by Robert Rodriguez and fueled the inspiration for, “Mexico and Mariachis.”  Another track from their first album, “Dias de Los Angeles” was placed in the film and soundtrack for “Once Upon A Time In Mexico” starring Johnny Depp, Antonio Banderas, and Salma Hayek. The band has received more than 17 Austin Music Awards, among other accolades.

Dustin Perkins, always the passionate writer and performer, has just emerged from a decade of self-imposed exile in the mountains of Southeast Oklahoma to bring to you another album, (his 4th , due April 2023,) a fresh take on life and rejuvenated stage show!

Dalene studied classical piano throughout her life through the Royal Conservatory of Music and went on to explore other aspects of music at the University of Alberta and Sunbridge College, NY.

This multi-instrumentalist (including mandobird, ukulele, guitar and upright bass); performed at venues across the US including the Cowboys AT&T Stadium, Houston Astrodome, Louisiana Superdome, State Fair of Texas and Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon with her girl band and has earned accolades including, “Dallas’ Top 10 Concerts” as well as “Top 10 CDs of the Year” by the Dallas Morning News. “For such a soft-spoken lady off stage, she can sure let it rip with a microphone,” says Mario Tarradell of the Dallas Morning News.

Her background also includes a stint as the official Anthem Singer and cheerleading captain for the Canadian Pro Football team, The Calgary Stampeders.

Dalene has previously released her all original solo album, “Linger”; as well as 2 albums with her band: Unbridled (Texas) and Metamorphosis (Nashville).

KatsüK is a conscious world folk fusion group with an infectious tribal ethereal pop atmosphere that feels like an epic cinematic soundscape and was recently nominated for 2019 BEST ROCK RECORDING, BEST WORLD RECORDING AND BEST CONCEPT FOR A MUSIC VIDEO in the Native American Music Awards (NAMMY’s).  Their music evokes the euphoric but somewhat dangerous feeling of falling in love—driving very fast down dark roads with the headlights off.

Created by composer/performer Daniel Katsük and accompanied by a phenomenal group of world-beat and symphonic instrumentalists, they have recently released a new album entitled Labyrinth, a powerful sonic journey through Life’s pitfalls and triumphs.  KatsüK is a fiercely prolific, dynamic and exhilarating musical experience replete with movements ranging from folk to rock to reggae to raga to funk and soul to highly charged percussive eruptions to sweet and melodious symphonic textures.

“One of the best things about this band is their live performance. They create an atmosphere that envelops the listener like a wall of sound one does not want to escape from.  They are powerful performance artists who weave smoky, woodsy vocals into elemental guitar melodies, harmonies, and percussion”  ~Fort Worth Texas Magazine~

On U.S. tours and at home Whitaker has shared the stage with artists like James Hand, Shooter Jennings, Corb Lund, The Bottle Rockets, and more.

Derian’s music is part therapy, & part outreach. Whether it’s classic rock, country, emo, pop-punk, or broadway show tunes, Derian’s vocal & ukulele arrangements make songs seem more personal & intimate. He is constantly exploring new styles and genres and has become notorious for scrapping setlists as he steps to the mic because he learned some new songs while waiting to go on stage. “Music is my therapy… I just play what I feel.”

Derian learned to play Saxophone in the junior high band and soon began experimenting with strings and keys. It didn’t take long to realize he had a gift for learning new instruments, so he began contemplating a career in music, but the tragic death of a friend altered the path he would take to reach that goal. Derian and his best friend, “Gomez”, started a suicide hotline for their classmates (unknown to their school or parents), but the stress of that responsibility took a toll on their own mental health. Derian has suffered from severe depression and anxiety for several years, and music has played a huge role in his recovery. In August 2019, Derian’s family and friends created The Lost & Found Initiative, a mental health non-profit using music and other art forms to promote suicide awareness and help individuals and their families find the mental health resources they need.
