WHAT IT IS: The Castellows, a neotraditional country-music trio, epitomize the essence of “family tradition.” Comprising sisters Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals), this Georgetown, Ga.-born group has found a new home in Nashville. Their sound seamlessly merges the traditional and modern, blending authenticity with refinement through expertly crafted harmonies. Teaming up with seasoned producer Trina Shoemaker—known for her work with Sheryl Crow, Nanci Griffith and Queens of the Stone Age—the sisters, raised on a cattle farm, are poised to make a threefold impact on the contemporary country-music scene. Their debut single, “No. 7 Road,” arrived on 10/20.
