Tommy Castro and the Painkillers
Tommy Castro and the Painkillers bring a high-voltage mix of electric blues, gritty rock, horn-driven R&B and hard-swinging soul. The San Jose-born guitarist and vocalist has spent more than four decades turning those influences into an uplifting live sound powered by searing guitar, commanding vocals and a band built for the road.
The concert draws from Closer to the Bone, Castro’s rawest and most direct blues record in years. Original songs sit alongside deep-cut material connected to friends and influences, stripping the music back to its essential grit and feeling. In performance, the Painkillers match that focus with telepathic grooves and raucous energy, making the blues feel urgent rather than retrospective.
