Tommy Castro & The Painkillers

Multiple award-winning guitarist, vocalist, and bandleader Tommy Castro is a California-based blues and rock powerhouse. For over four decades, hes captivated audiences with his soul-drenched vocals, searing guitar work, and high-energy live shows. With his latest and eighth Alligator Records release, Closer To The Bone, Castro returns to his roots, delivering what he calls a real blues record, the way they would have made them back in the day.

Produced by guitar master Christoffer Kid Andersen at San Joses Greaseland Studio, the album is Castros rawest and most direct blues effort to date.
