About Me

My name is Richie Castellano. I'm a Songwriter, Guitar Player, Bass Player, Singer, and Producer. I also play guitar and keyboards for the classic rock band Blue Öyster Cult.

This is the place to be if you want to get right down to my music (no fancy bells and whistles.) I created this page as a recording project for myself. I'm going to be rotating the songs here, adding new songs, and throwing in some old stuff too.

As an added bonus I also threw a few videos up here. They're definitely worth checking out.

Thanks for stopping by,
-Richie
