Tommy Castro & The Painkillers are performing Friday, February 9th at Sweetwater with special guest Mark Karan.

​

Since his solo debut in 1994, Tommy Castro has made 16 albums. Ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll, each release is solidly built upon Castro’s unshakable musical foundation—a dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk, all driven by Castro’s grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. 

Tommy will be performing tracks from his latest album A Bluesman Came To Town, which tells the tale of a young man working on his family farm who gets bitten by the blues bug. He masters the guitar and heads out on the road seeking fame and fortune, only to find what he’s left behind is the treasure he’s been looking for.
