Neo-Traditional Country music trio, The Castellows, bring a literal meaning to the phrase, “family tradition.” The band, comprised of sisters Ellie (lead guitar), Powell (banjo) and Lily (vocals), hail from small rural Georgetown, Georgia, but now call Nashville home. The Castellows’ sound is traditional, yet modern. Authentic, yet harnessed. The common thread among the trio, other than their DNA, is their masterful three-part harmonies which blend together to create one singular, almost angelic, voice.
The Castellows’ craft as songwriters is as robust as their voices, which is evident across the trio’s debut EP, A Little Goes A Long Way, (February 9, 2024) and the follow-up three-song EP, Alabama Stone (December 6, 2024) featuring song “Girl That Boy” which Billboard describes as an “exquisitely melancholy song” adding that “It’s jarring, refreshing – and practically demands a second listen.…” The Castellows’ next project, the seven-song Homecoming EP, arrived May 30, 2025, just as the band was crisscrossing the globe on their own headlining Homecoming Tour, as well as joining Thomas Rhett on his Better In Boots Tour which included a stop at Boston’s iconic Fenway Park.
The Castellows spent the back half of 2025 either on tour or in the studio, preparing for a barrage of new music to release throughout 2026, starting with February’s “Love Is A Game” and “Heartland” releases. In the spring and summer of 2026, the three sisters took their live show international via their own 2026 World Tour which included SOLD-OUT stops in Canada, Australia, England, France, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Furthermore, The Castellows joined Luke Combs on the international leg of Combs’ My Kinda Saturday Night Tour.
Prior to the onslaught of new music by The Castellows, the band began turning heads of music industry insiders in January 2023. When spring arrived, The Castellows had signed a record deal with Warner Records Nashville/Warner Records. Wasting no time on pleasantries, The Castellows immediately got to work writing, recording, and performing live.
One year later, the three sisters from a cattle farm in Georgia were still turning heads, landing on multiple 2024 ‘Watch Lists’ including CMT Next Women of Country, CMT ‘Listen Up,’ and Nashville Lifestyles, touting their first major award-nomination for CMT Digital-First Performance of the Year at the 2024 CMT Music Awards, hitting the road in the fall of 2024 with Little Big Town and Sugarland on the Take Me Home Tour, and being named a SiriusXM “Highway Find” artist for The Highway (Ch. 56). The Castellows have performed on NBCs Today Show, been featured on the COVER(S) of Modern Luxury Magazine Nashville, JEZEBEL Magazine, Music City Lifestyle Magazine and Magnolia & Moonshine Magazine, in addition to being named as an Amazon Music ‘One To Watch’ in 2025.

body bio
Rooted in the red clay of Georgetown, Georgia, The Castellows are a sister trio redefining neo-traditional country music with a fresh Southern soul. Composed of Ellie, Lily, and Powell Balkcom, the group blends blood harmony with back-porch honesty, creating a sound that’s as timeless as it is current.
Raised on gospel, bluegrass, and the stories of small-town life, The Castellows found their collective voice in 2022, quickly gaining traction with stripped-down covers and original songs shared across social media. Their natural harmonies and authentic presence drew fans in by the thousands—and caught the attention of Nashville.
By 2023, the sisters had inked a deal with Warner Music Nashville and Warner Records, officially kicking off a professional journey that had long been in the making. Their debut EP, A Little Goes a Long Way (2024), produced by Grammy-winner Trina Shoemaker, introduced the world to the heart and grit behind their music. With six of the seven tracks penned by the trio, the EP is a heartfelt homage to faith, family, and Southern roots.
In 2024 alone, they sold out nearly half of their very first headlining tour, dropped three singles—including Sober Sundays, a standout collaboration with Wyatt Flores—and released a buzzworthy EP. They also hit the road with country icons Little Big Town and Sugarland, earning new fans across the country.
Breaking into 2025 starting with a C2C a brand new EP titled Homecoming and a major tour alongside Thomas Rhett. And the momentum doesn’t stop there—the Castellows will headline again this fall on their very own Homecoming Tour.
Whether it's a front-porch singalong or a sold-out stage, The Castellows deliver every note with raw emotion and radiant unity. Their sound is a little old-school, a little new wave, and a whole lot of home.
