Tommy Castro & The Painkillers bring a surge of blues and rock powered by a guitarist and vocalist renowned for a four-decade run and 17 albums. Their latest chapter, Closer To The Bone, leans into raw, old-school blues with an unfiltered sound shaped by producer Christoffer "Kid" Andersen at Greaseland Studio in San Jose. The band features Randy McDonald on bass, Mike Emerson on keyboards, and Bowen Brown on drums. The new album blends fresh Castro originals with deep-cut homages to friends and influences, touching on songs tied to Johnny Nitro, Magic Slim, Ron Thompson, Mike Duke, Chris Cain, Wynonie Harris, Eddie Taylor, Jimmy Nolen, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson. It highlights the group’s tight interplay and Castro’s fiery delivery. A decorated artist with multiple Blues Music Awards, including the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year honor in 2023, Castro is known for compelling live shows that turn first-time listeners into devoted fans. Tickets are $50, $40, and $29.
