  3. Lenny Castro interview by Reggie Boyle

    Interview - By Arend, Jan 22, 2015 8:49 AM

    Lenny Castro is a first call cat in the live percussion and session percussion game. He has an unbelievable list of sessions and live gigs. He is currently playing with Joe Bonamassa and is also well known for playing with Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks among many, many others as well as Toto from the very beginning. He has recently rejoined Toto on their new album Toto XIV due March 24 in America and is joining them for their World Tour 2015. It has been a few decades since he played with them live but he never left the Toto family as he has been a part of their studio albums since back in the day. With original bass player David Hungate rejoining Toto last year and remaining on, this really solidifies Toto for 2015. I asked Lenny if he could spare some time for an interview and he didn't hesitate to agree. Lenny kindly invited me to his home where we basked in the January Southern California warmth and sun and covered many subjects.
