A songwriter and performer based in New York’s Hudson Valley, Alex Castle’s songs pair sharp, observational writing with music that wanders freely through rock, country, soul, and folk with a pitch-black sense of humor.

Before moving upstate, Castle spent six years in San Francisco and more than a decade in New York City, where his parallel lives in music and comedy frequently overlapped. He founded the 10-piece NYC funk monster The Get It, created and produced The Paco Doubledown Variety Hour, and worked closely with the comedy troupe The Whitest Kids U’ Know. His songwriting has won him trophies at the New York Funny Songs Festival (Judges Choice) and the Too Short To Suck Film Festival (Best Original Music). In 2023 he released “You Better Believe,” a Christmas collaboration with Marco Benevento, and his last album, PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY, END TIMES was released in 2024.

As a solo artist, Castle has continued to occupy the territory between songwriter and comic without quite belonging to either camp. WHITE SAUCE HOT SAUCE, his new ten-song album, arrived September 24, 2026.
