"Over the course of his career, guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Tommy Castro -a six-time Blues Music Award winner have played thousands of shows to hundreds of thousands of ecstatic fans. Castro, along with his band, The Painkillers bassist Randy McDonald, keyboardist Michael Emerson, and drummer Bowen Brown play music that is guaranteed to fill the floor and raise the roof. With seemingly telepathic musicianship, the Painkillers bring an unmatched passion to Castro’s blue-eyed California soul and hard rocking, good time songs. Delivering the songs from his brand new Alligator release, Stompin’ Ground, Castro both look back with autobiographical originals and cover songs that inspired him, melding contemporary lyrics with blistering blues rock. No Depression says, “Castro plays gritty, string bending blues like a runaway soul train…a glorious blend that rocks the soul and lifts the spirits.”"
