Jason Castro Is Finally Going On Tour, Sort Of - American Idol
I don’t know if I’ve ever been more surprised in my life than when I heard Jason Castro is finally going on tour.
Well, place an asterisk next to that statement because it’s not an arena tour, by any stretch of the imagination.
It is good that Castro has finally graduated from playing shopping malls, though, because they can get a tad monotonous. Or so I have heard.
Anyway, Castro will now play small nightclubs in an attempt, I believe, to resurrect the dying embers of his music career and possibly stoke the flame of one in acting. Or, playing on Broadway.
Not knowing what Castro is doing one minute from the next is the story of his career, a planned (or not) sequence of mishaps by management (or his mom) that literally suck the life out of any joyous comeback.
Here’s Castro’s upcoming tour schedule:
January 20: Jack Rabbits (Jacksonville, Fla.)
January 22: The Evening Muse (Charlotte, N.C.)
January 23: Local 506 (Chapel Hill, N.C.)
January 25: Jammin’ Java (Vienna, Va.)
January 26: World Café Live (Philadelphia)
January 27: Joe’s Pub (New York)
January 28: Café 939 at Berklee (Boston)
January 29: Club Café (Pittsburgh)
January 31: Beachland Ballroom & Tavern (Cleveland)
February 1: The Basement (Columbus, Ohio)
February 3: The Ark (Ann Arbor, Mich.)
February 4: Schubas Tavern (Chicago)
February 5: Der Rathskeller/Univ. of Wisconsin (Madison, Wis.)
February 6: 7th Street Entry (Minneapolis, Minn.)
February 8: The Bottleneck (Lawrence, Kans.)
February 9: The Soiled Dove Underground (Denver)
February 11: Reef Boise (Boise, Idaho)
