    In the theater, concert stage, or in the studio, Tom Kastle delivers quality with passion!

    Tom Kastle has been a singer and folk musician for decades, traveling the world, collecting and performing maritime songs and stories, and captaining sailing ships on the Great Lakes. These days, Tom lives in Madison and his passions are even more diverse and include a recording of original songs based mostly on traditional fiddle tunes, film projects like Francisco Torres’ Delight In the Mountain, with Richard Riehle and Tom Wopat, an opera role, and television where he hosted a short documentary that was nominated for an Emmy Award.  Onstage, he has performed theatrical roles ranging from musicals to Shakespeare and played a political pundit with the legendary Ed Asner in God Help Us!  Tom is currently developing and touring two, one-man plays.

    "Tom's natural on-camera presence, ease of ad lib, and knowledge of the subject made him the perfect host for our Emmy nominated documentary on the Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial."

    "Frosch played by Tom Kastle was a standout in the third act. His comic timing was on point and he delivered the humor of the character perfectly."
    Classical Hive(Die Fledermas)
    "Tom Kastle also brings levity to many of his roles, particularly the physician who sees Nick and Miranda as lab rats, and the marriage counselor with advice that is shockingly on the nose."
    Gwendolyn RiceIsthmus (Expecting Isabel)
    "What do you say about a guy who can command a tall ship and all her crew, whose songs can make an Irishman cry tears of pure Tullamore Dew?"
    Bryan Bowers
    “You were awesome! You made the Parade of Sail come alive. You have a true passion for this stuff that totally comes through. Everyone thought you were great. Kudos.”

    “Tom Kastle is sounding sweeter than ever these days, especially in his ‘natural habitat’ as he leads the whole crowd in Joe Hill songs.”
    Marilyn Rea BeyerMidnight Special WFMT
    “Your visit to the museum meant a great deal to us. Thank you for making the long journey. Your performance was truly award winning. Everyone loved it and enjoyed singing along with you. Congratulations on the outstanding work that you do. Your program is such a valuable teaching tool that should be performed in every school in America. Solidarity Forever!"

    "With his solo recording and original songs, Tom Kastle shows further dimensions to his talent and range of material. His resonant voice, heartfelt lyrics, and solid instrumentation proves he is a more "grounded" talent, as capable as writing about the open road as he is about the open waters."
    Lilli KuzmaFolk Festival WDCB-FM Radio
    "I heard Tom Kastle sing his song, 'Whose House? Our House!'…. Timely. Inspiring. A great gathering song sung with power and presence."
