Award-winning guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Tommy Castro has been playing his signature brand of rocking rhythm and blues professionally for over 25 years, thrilling fans around the world with his incendiary live performances. With his new, stripped-down, turbo-charged band The Painkillers, Castro has embarked on the next phase of his storied career.
Along with original Tommy Castro Band bassist Randy McDonald, new members Byron Cage on drums and James Pace on keyboards, Castro pares his music down to its tough, raw core. Formed in February 2012, Tommy Castro & The Painkillers have been tearing up the road ever since. “The Painkillers are very soulful and talented musicians with tireless energy that make me feel like I did when I first came on the scene,” says Castro. “A lot of folks are having hard times these days, and they need something to lift them up and make them smile. Our music kills the pain.”
