Tommy Castro is an American guitarist, singer, songwriter, and bandleader. His muscular brand of roots music indulges electric and jump blues, funky R&B-inflected rockers, and searing soul-drenched ballads. An incendiary lead guitarist and showman, he often plays more than 200 dates a year. After signing to Blind Pig Records, he released No Exceptions in 1996 and Can't Keep a Good Man Down in 1997. Both received universal critical acclaim warranting two world tours. 2001's Guilty of Love landed inside the Top Five, prompting industry talk of crossover success. Hard Believer, his 2009 Alligator debut, hit number two and netted four Blues Music Awards -- including the coveted B.B. King Entertainer of the Year Award. 2012's raw, wooly, stripped-down The Devil You Know marked the first outing by his new band the Painkillers and spent 23 weeks on the charts. 2017's Stompin' Ground peaked at number two. In 2021, Tommy Castro Presents: A Bluesman Came to Town, a blues concept album, was co-written and recorded with producer/drummer Tom Hambridge. It entered the charts at number two. After his second world tour, Castro, his band, producer Christoffer "Kid" Andersen, and a star-studded cast cut the 2025 album Closer to the Bone.
