Internationally-beloved soul-blues rocker is one of the most popular roots
music artists in the world due to his infectious albums and one of the busiest
live performance schedules in all of music. Tommy’s 2017 studio release,
Stompin’ Ground, has scanned nearly 10,000 units and 2019’s live Killin’
It – Live, is over 8,000.
Two-time winners of the Blues Music Award (the Grammy of the Blues) for
Entertainer Of The Year, Tommy and his band, The Painkillers, average over
150 shows a year at clubs, theatres and festivals. Since the release of
Killin’ It – Live, they’ve toured Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and
France. They’ve also performed in Canada and England multiple times.
Tommy will be touring Europe in support of the new release in February 2022, with additional dates in Summer and Fall. Alligator publicity, radio and social media will be setting up interviews, features, in-studio performances and more for an artist that’s been covered by DownBeat, Relix, NoDepression, PopMatters and AllMusic, plus Mojo, Blues And Rhythm and Blues Matters (UK), Soul Bag, Paris-Move and Blues Magazine (France), Bluesnews (Germany), Bluesmagazine (Netherlands), ORPHEO (Spain) and Jefferson (Sweden).
Tommy Castro Presents A Bluesman Came To Town is the raucous, multi-song tale of a young man bitten by the blues bug. A striking collection of songs tell the story in vivid lyrics brought to life by Castro’s patented roadhouse rock, soulful ballads and deep, greasy grooves.
