Castle Macfarlane

About

Castle Macfarlane is a singer-songwriter and the newest incarnation of a musician and artist who has evolved through many different styles, genres and Manitoba-based acts over many years. He has been active on the stage since 2006, and has taken his show across the country in many different forms.

His newest material stays true to his background in theatre, inciting a playful and sometimes surreal carnivalesque soundscape. It's piano driven and dramatic. It's not hard to hear influences on the sound and voice, the retro, Vaudeville spirit comes through with ease. One can hear his love for rock opera, especially Phantom of the Paradise.

He has played various original shows, cover shows, tribute acts and music festivals including the Winnipeg Pride Festival and Hoot Owl Music Festival. He is a proud member of the LGBT community.

This newly formed solo act is seeing the completion of its first album, 2021's Cosmic Wine. It is currently on rotation, on CBC Radio and has been featured by the Winnipeg Free Press.
