Mike Castellana grew up on Long Island and attended the Berklee School of Music in Boston, starting out as a traditional guitarist but soon also moving into the beautiful and intricate world of the pedal steel guitar. His former musical excursions include the Boston experimental jazz-rock septet, The Lunch Factor, several years of touring in Europe, Canada, and the U.S. with intergalactic blues guitarist Eddie Kirkland and four years touring and recording with Sugar Hill recording artist Sarah Borges. Mike is currently performing with Glorytellers, a new band formed by Geoff Farina (Karate) and various Boston-area artists.
