According to an interview in The Times-Picayune, Kevin Griffin, of the rock group Better Than Ezra, has written songs for Jason Castro. Guessing that the songs are potentially for Jason's upcoming album. Very exciting.

p.s. Don't make me feel old by asking who Better Than Ezra is. Google it.

Next up, Jason and John Mayer for Laura Anne...

Via a series of webisodes, Jason, in conjunction with Atlantic Records, will be bringing us along for the ride as he creates his first CD. Jason's Official Website will air these randomly over the summer as they are received from Atlantic Records.

You've seen the first in the series, I'm sure, but if not, please visit www.jasoncastromusic.com to watch it now!

busy day!!
