The blues and rock powerhouse from California has been delighting audiences for over four decades with his soulful voice, rousing guitar playing, and energetic live performances. As the frontman of the telepathically rehearsed and wild band The Painkillers, he presents a unique, exhilarating and soulful style that has its roots in blues, R&B and funk. In March 2027, Tommy and his band will return to Europe and then present their brand new album.
Few can boast such a successful career, which has now lasted over 40 years. "We lasted longer than all our marriages together, and we still rock somewhere almost every night," joke Castro and bassist McDonald, who have been the constant core of the band since the beginning. Tommy Castro's style is an extravagant mix of blues and soul that is second to none. He describes his style as "Funky Southern Soul, Big City Blues and Classic Rock". His performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival 2015 is unforgettable. This performance set standards. No blues fan should miss the opportunity to experience this superstar live.
