About

Matt Pittman, Dan Castady, Mark Rhoades and George Castady

The Fold got their first break in 2006 when they signed a record deal with the label Tooth & Nail Records. “It was so awesome to get out of our hometown and make a real record with a producer” says Daniel Castady, the group’s lead singer. The journey didn’t stop there, though. They’ve since toured the world and sold almost 100,000 records. Latest achievements include writing the theme songs for 2012 for Denver Broncos, LEGO Ninjago, Chicago Cubs, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Carolina Panthers. New EP out this Summer!

Meet The Fold

Dan Castady

Lead Vocals, Guitar

Dan can remember the first time he realized what it meant to be able to multi-track. He sat there in his Dad's backseat on the way home from his Aunt's and yelled "So, Dad, you're saying that if I use your 4 track recorder, I can record 'Live and Let Die' all by MYSELF?!" Dad concurred, and ever since it's been this type of wonder and determination that has kept Dan writing songs and recording with The Fold. 'In the studio is where I feel the biggest sense of purpose. It's just a magical place for me, where there are no boundaries...'

Mark Rhoades

Drums

A soft spoken individual…until you get him behind his drum set. This wild man beats his drum kit like a red-headed stepchild!! We've seen him break 5 or more sticks within a 30 minute set. His great drumming, business mindset, marketing, comedy and love for music is what Mark brings to the table! When he's not slammin' the skins, or dressing up in costumes for the videos, he loves snowboarding, riding any number of his motorcycles and off-roading.

Matt Pittman

Bass, Vocals

He's a very shy dude. Not!! If acting like a goofball 24-7 was a job, he'd be a millionaire! We often make him do all the crazy dares none of us are willing to do. While on stage it's hard to see him stand in one place for more than 1 second. He's a wildman!! He's fun, high energy, goofy, business savvy and tries to consistently make everyone laugh. When he's not thumping away at his bass he enjoys snowboarding, skating, playing sports, and hangin out with family and friends.

George Castady

Guitar, Vocals

This Castady is no stranger to Rock and Roll. Just put a guitar in his hand and give him a vocal melody to sing and he's as happy as a rooster in a hen house!! Georgie is a musical sponge. I've never seen anyone with such on the spot musical talent. Name a song or hum a melody and he can figure it out how to play it within a minute or two. His musical talents, awesome ideas, fun personality and carefree spirit adds an element to the Fold that's never been there before. Make sure to talk to him at a show or online because you'll have a friend forever! When he's not shredding on the guitar he likes watching the Cubbies, playing softball, hanging out with friends, and chillin with his dog Buster Brown.

Our Fifth Beatle

JoE Martin

Marketing, Social Networking, Merchandise

Not many bands have 4 members and then...a 5th? It's true. But we're not your everyday band. JoE is tasked with much of the behind-the-scenes work here at Fold Headquarters. Web designer, graphic design, photos, video and our social networking. At a show you can find him behind the merch table, probably being loud and taking pictures with anyone who will have him. If you're lucky enough though, you just might even catch him on stage rocking out a couple songs on guitar.
