Blazing soul-blues rocker Tommy Castro’s musical roots run deep. As he unleashes his high-energy music to fans all over the world, Castro is inspired by the sounds he absorbed while coming of age on the rough-and-tumble side of San Jose, California. Over the course of his career, Castro’s San Jose DNA has always inspired his music, whether he’s squeezing out the deepest blues or the funkiest soul grooves. He and the Painkillers—bassist Randy McDonald, keyboardist Michael Emerson, and drummer Bowen Brown—have played hundreds of shows to thousands of music lovers, always leaving their audiences screaming for more.
