RBS – 2nd Annual Cruisin’ The Blues

National Automobile Museum 1 Museum Drive, Reno, NV, United States

Multiple award-winning, California-based blues and rock sensation Tommy Castro is the guiatar slinging, soul-singing leader of the telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers. He’s released 17 previous albums over the course of his four-decade career. Each release features its own individual sound and style, ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues and soul to fiery, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll . With his new album, Closer To The Bone, Castro has returned to his roots, delivering what he calls “a real blues record, the way they would have made them back in the day.” Closer To The Bone is the most unvarnished, straight-ahead blues release of Castro’s career, one that bristles with every ounce of his dynamic energy and raw emotion.

Castro received his fourth prestigious and coveted Blues Music Award for B.B. King Entertainer of the Year in 2023. He’s taken home a total of 10 Blues Music Awards and is among the genre’s most decorated artists. Castro’s relentless road-dog approach-gig after gig, 150 nights a year – continues to earn him loyal, lifelong fans everywhere he plays. The Washington Post says Castro is “phenomenal and funky” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.”

Coco Montoya

Nashville Social Club 1105 South Carson Street, Carson City, NV, United States

“Just play what you feel, be real about it, and enjoy yourself.” Those words from blues legend Albert Collins shaped the career of award-winning guitarist and singer Coco Montoya.

Born in Santa Monica, California, Coco started out as a drummer before being discovered by Collins, who not only hired him but mentored him on guitar. Later, British icon John Mayall recruited Montoya into his famed Bluesbreakers, following in the footsteps of Eric Clapton, Peter Green, and Mick Taylor. Ten years on the road with Mayall cemented Coco’s reputation as one of the most dynamic players of his generation. 🎶

In 1995, Coco launched his solo career with Gotta Mind To Travel, instantly winning the Blues Music Award for Best New Artist. Since then, his incendiary guitar work and soul-powered vocals have kept him at the top of the blues world, with a string of acclaimed albums on Alligator Records and Ruf Records. His newest release, Writing On The Wall, produced by Grammy-winner Tony Braunagel, is already being hailed as one of his finest. The album features his powerhouse touring band—keyboardist Jeff Paris, bassist Nathan Brown, and drummer Rena Beavers—as well as special guests like Lee Roy Parnell and Ronnie Baker Brooks. 🎸🔥

Over the decades, Coco has shared his music across the globe—touring everywhere from the U.S. to Europe, South America, and beyond. His live shows are legendary, leaving audiences electrified and inspired. 🌍✨
