About Us
Who We Are
Reason the Dream is a Dallas, Texas–based indie rock band blending classic 70s influence with modern alternative energy. Centered around the songwriting, piano, guitars, and vocals of Mary Castillo and the creative production, instrumentation, and vocals of Steve Fischer, the band crafts music that feels timeless yet immediate.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon, and Kings of Leon, Reason the Dream fuses emotive storytelling with textured guitars and cinematic atmosphere. Their sound bridges vintage soul and contemporary rock — built on melody, conviction, and depth.
Rooted in themes of faith and redemption, the band’s lyrics are inspired by scripture, but delivered through a lens of human struggle, identity, and hope. Rather than preach, their songs invite listeners into reflection — pairing spiritual foundation with universal emotion.
Their focus track, “You Know My Name,” captures this balance: a vulnerable, atmospheric anthem exploring what it means to be known — fully and truthfully — in a world that often misunderstands identity. It represents the heart of Reason the Dream’s mission: music with meaning, weight, and resonance.
