Blues-rock powerhouse Tommy Castro & The Painkillers are bringing their “Closer To The Bone” Tour to The Swan Music Hall for one unforgettable night of soul, swagger, and seriously good vibes.
With his smoking-hot guitar work, impassioned vocals, and high-energy stage presence, Tommy Castro has earned his place among the greats. Backed by his exceptional band—Randy McDonald (bass), Michael Emerson (keys), and Bowen Brown (drums)—Castro delivers a live show that’s pure fire 🔥 … a masterclass in blues, R&B, and rock ’n’ roll.
🎶 Winner of multiple Blues Music Awards, including B.B. King Entertainer of the Year (2023), Tommy’s career spans over four decades and 17 acclaimed albums. Known for his relentless touring schedule—over 150 shows a year—he’s a performer who gives everything on stage, night after night.
The band’s brand-new album, Closer To The Bone (Alligator Records, 2025), takes Castro back to his roots with what he calls “a real blues record.” Expect searing originals like “Ain’t Worth the Heartache” and “Crazy Woman Blues,” plus deep cuts from legends like Magic Slim, Johnny Nitro, and Eddie Taylor. Recorded at California’s legendary Greaseland Studio, the album features guest appearances by Rick Estrin, Chris Cain, Billy Branch, and more. 🎷🎹
🎷The DELTA WIRES are a big, bold, rockin’ harmonica-and-horns blues band straight out of the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area! Known for their high-energy shows and powerhouse sound, they’ve earned a place in the California Blues Hall of Fame and were named “Best Live Band” by Oakland Magazine and East Bay Express.
