Given that Nashville is considered the heart of country music, most singers who wish to explore a career in the genre eventually find their way to the city. And for The Castellows, the three sisters followed that same path in 2023. Consisting of sisters Lily, Eleanor, and Powell Balkcom, the trio gained stardom when sharing covers on social media in 2022. It didn’t take long before The Castellows caught the eye of the music industry. And just one year later, the trio signed a record deal. Still offering covers of hit songs, The Castellows once performed Zach Bryan’s hit song “I Remember Everything.”

Back in September 2023, Bryan released his fourth studio album Zach Bryan. Among the songs was a collaboration with Kacey Musgraves on the hit “I Remember Everything.” The song surrounded two individuals recalling their time together and the major role alcohol played in their relationship. With the song featuring mesmerizing lyrics and a heartbreaking story, The Castellows showcased their raw power.
Online, The Castellows watched their fanbase grow as the three received high marks for the cover. “You gals remind me of the good old days. Back in the day when people are just kind, beautiful and down-to-earth., enjoying the simple life. That’s what we all want….” One person continued, “It’s beautiful to see three women, very down-to-earth true to themselves—We all long for those beautiful down-to-earth songs and people. Love y’all.” Another fan kept their comments far more simplistic, crowning the trio “Angels with angelic voices.”

The Castellows Pay Tribute To Their Childhood
Just a few weeks ago, The Castellows teased their newest EP with Alabama Stone. Growing up in Georgia, the singers fashioned the songs to mirror their roots with both Georgia and Alabama.
With The Castello’s sharing a post on Instagram, the group wrote, “Our hometown borders the state of Alabama, so in many ways we also feel like we are from both Georgia and Alabama. Our grandmother lives in a log cabin in the country in Alabama. The original room in the cabin has a fireplace with a stone in the center shaped like the state of Alabama. Lily saw this and thought Alabama Stone would be an interesting title for a song. That’s how the idea for the song was born, and we thought it was most fitting to be the title track of this EP.”
