Tom Kastle

media release: Tom Kastle has been a singer and folk musician for decades, traveling the world, collecting and performing maritime songs and stories, and captaining sailing ships on the Great Lakes. These days, Tom lives in Madison and his passions are even more diverse and include theater, indie and student films, and political activism. Onstage, he has performed theatrical roles ranging from musicals to Shakespeare and played a political pundit with the legendary Ed Asner in God Help Us! Recently, Tom’s one man play, Joe Hill: Alive As You and Me played at the Woody Guthrie Center and the American Labor Museum.  

“Tom Kastle is sounding sweeter than ever these days, especially in his ‘natural habitat’ as he leads the whole crowd in Joe Hill songs.”   Marilyn Rea Beyer/Midnight Special WFMT 

"What do you say about a guy who can command a tall ship and all her crew, whose songs can make an Irishman cry tears of pure Tullamore Dew?"  — Bryan Bowers
