 d More Hide Multiple award - winning guitarist\, vocalist\, and bandleader
  Tommy Castro is a California - based blues and rock powerhouse. For over 
 four decades\, he’s captivated audiences with his soul - drenched vocals
 \, searing guitar work\, and high - energy live shows. As frontman of the 
 telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers \, 
 he’s released 17 albums that span a wide stylistic range — from horn-d
 riven R&B and hot-blooded soul to gritty\, stripped-down rock and electric
  blues. With his latest and eighth Alligator Records release\, Closer To T
 he Bone \, Castro returns to his roots\, delivering what he calls “a rea
 l blues record\, the way they would have made them back in the day.” Pro
 duced by guitar master Christoffer “Kid” Andersen at San Jose’s Grea
 seland Studio\, the album is Castro’s rawest and most direct blues effor
 t to date. The album features standout originals like Ain’t Worth The He
 artache \, Can’t Catch A Break \, and Crazy Woman Blues \, alongside dee
 p-cut covers of songs by Castro’s friends and influences — Johnny Nitr
 o\, Magic Slim\, Ron Thompson\, Chris Cain\, and more. Guest appearances i
 nclude Rick Estrin\, Billy Branch\, Deanna Bogart\, Chris Cain\, Jim Pugh\
 , and gospel harmonies from The Sons Of The Soul Revivers. Born in San Jos
 e in 1955\, Castro picked up the guitar at age 10 and was inspired by icon
 s like Elvin Bishop\, Taj Mahal\, and Mike Bloomfield. He absorbed everyth
 ing from Ike & Tina Turner to John Lee Hooker and Buddy Guy\, developing a
  uniquely uplifting and soulful style rooted in blues\, R&B\, and funk. Af
 ter early stints with Bay Area bands including NiteCry and The Dynatones\n
