The Damon Castillo Band are back to entertain you for another year!

For the second year in a row AEG has secured the Damon
Castillo Band to perform on the “Main Stage” at the Amgen Tour of California Health Net Lifestyle Festival. Beginning on February 17th at Stanford University in Palo Alto, the California-based, five-piece band will play at each of the tour’s
eight progressive stops on the 650-mile course terminating in Pasadena.

The Band is happy to be playing the Tour of California again. Damon states, “Last year the festival was a blast…I'm looking forward to the race now that I have learned more about the sport, and the band and I are excited to be playing some of the new material that will be coming out on our next album.”
