Tommy Castro and the Painkillers
California guitarist, singer, and bandleader Tommy Castro brings four decades of blues, rock, R&B, and soul to The Freight with his fiercely responsive Painkillers. Across 17 albums, Castro has built a reputation for soul-drenched vocals, searing guitar work, and high-energy performances.
His latest Alligator Records release, Closer to the Bone, returns to raw, direct blues under producer Christoffer “Kid” Andersen. Originals sit beside songs associated with friends and influences, with guests including Rick Estrin, Billy Branch, Deanna Bogart, Chris Cain, Jim Pugh, and the Sons of the Soul Revivers.
