Life is good when you can sing Hallelujah with former Idol Contestant and Finalist Jason Castro.

This blog post is being dedicated to Jason Castro, a good old American boy, born and raised in Rowlett, Texas. He was born on March 25, 1987 to parents who immigrated to the United States from Columbia. He is a first generation American and his first language is Spanish.


Many of you may recall Jason on Idol wearing dreadlocks, playing his Ukulele and singing Somewhere Over the Rainbow.


Jason did not become the American Idol but he did win the hearts of many. He continues to play many free concerts for charity. He played in Irving, TX for the July 4th free concert and he believes in giving back to his community. Jason has played at many different locations in and around Dallas, Texas, especially for charity fundraisers.

He will be playing in concert at the First Baptist Church Auditorium at 100 North First Street in Wylie, Texas on Saturday, August 18, 2012. Doors open at 6 p.m. for a 7 p.m. concert. For information go to www.wasainc.org. On September 20, 2012, Jason will be in concert at The Roxy in West Hollywood, CA. 

What I love about Jason is his moral values and  he engages the audience of all ages, not because he's loud and obnoxious, but because of his love for good music. When he auditioned for American Idol, he was on a full academic scholarship from TX A&M University in College Station. He is an acoustic/folk/pop/contemporary Christian singer and an accomplished songwriter.

Jason Castro is a true believer in Faith, Marriage and Children. He became a father last year. I dedicated this blog post to Jason, because I would like to see more young people being recognized for the good things they do in life, rather than call attention to the public media for violence against children, such as the recent case in Colorado.

 

Thank God for JASON CASTRO - Hallelujah!!!

Carl & Ceil,

Over the years, Texas has been known to bring out some amazing talent. I'm glad Jason Castro is a native Texas who promotes music and charitable fundraisers that benefits the non-profit organization for child abuse prevention efforts. AND he's only 25 years old!

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, Patricia,

It is amazing how talented young people are... even if they don't win American Idol.

Tatyana, I think you're absolutely right. You don't have to be the big winner on American Idol to still achieve success and win over the hearts of many who appreciate your talent. Life is Good when there is young talent like Jason Castro!

Yes, he was defiitely memorable, and I loved his version on the ukelele. Reminds me to look up the chords. I just picked up my ukelele (I haven't played since grade school) and this would be a goal to learn.

Pacita,

I think it's great that you picked up the ukulele again. I remember when Herman's Hermits played Mrs. Brown You Have a Lovely Daughter and he strummed the ukulele. That was long before you were born and I remember how happy I was to hear that instrument for the very first time. The ukulele has a sound that's very joyful and fun to listen to.

Goold for you!!!

Roy,,

I hope I can make it too! I sold a listing to a nice couple in Wylie about a year ago. I think I'll give them a call to see if they want to join me. I haven't been to a concert in years! Plus, it would be great to see them again.

Supporting young talented professionals is something all of us should do and I need to do that more!

James,

Everyone makes choices. I would like to believe Holmes parents raised him right in San Diego and somewhere along the way, he went to the dark side. Now, he will live out the rest of his life paying for his crime.

Jason Castro turned out good and I respect him as a young professional musician and artist. You can use your creativity to inspire others and Jason is doing that plus he is involved in giving back to the community supporting abused children and other charitable events. To think he's only 25 years old - isn't that swell!

I think this would be a great concert for parents to take their children to too!

Good Morning Peggy,

Many young people taste success and spend the most time chasing dreams and following a road that leads to self-destruction.

Not Jason Castro! He was born to parents who immigrated to the United States because they wanted a better life for their children. I applaud Jason's parents too. His benefit concerts can have a tremendous effect on someone's life.

Joan,

Jason Castro was a good contestant and memorable too. It's nice to know he made an indelible mark on the American people in such a positive way and he's not just another Adam Lambert!

Hello Patricia -- nice way to spotlight Jason Castro's talent and give some additional(and new to me) information on the good things he continues to do.   Positive news is always a good thing to hear especially during these sad times.

I'm a huge Idol fan and have watched since Season 3.  I remember Jason and even voted for him a time or two.  What a nice tribute to him!
