DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, September 20th the Community Center for the Perfor
 ming Arts welcomes back Tommy Castro & The Painkillers to the WOW Hall for
  their Closer To The Bone Tour. \n \n\nCLOSER TO THE BONE\n\nMultiple awar
 d-winning\, California-based blues and rock sensation Tommy Castro is the 
 guitar slinging\, soul-singing leader of the telepathically tight and wild
 ly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers. He’s released 17 previous alb
 ums over the course of his four-decade career. Each release features its o
 wn 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 a
 lbum\, 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 b
 ack in the day.” Closer To The Bone is the most unvarnished\, straight-a
 head blues release of Castro’s career\, one that bristles with every oun
 ce of his dynamic energy and raw emotion. \n\n\nOn Closer To The Bone (Cas
 tro’s 8th Alligator release)\, Castro and his Painkillers—bassist Rand
 y McDonald\, keyboardist Mike Emerson and drummer Bowen Brown—mix new Ca
 stro originals (Ain’t Worth The Heartache\, Can’t Catch A Break\, Craz
 y Woman Blues) with songs originally performed by many of Castro’s frien
 ds and heroes. Artists and their songs include Johnny Nitro (One More Nigh
 t\, on which Castro plays his treasured 1966 black Fender Stratocaster\, a
  guitar once owned by Nitro himself)\, Magic Slim (Hole In The Wall)\, Ron
  Thompson (Freight Train)\, Mike Duke (Keep Your Dog Inside) and Chris Cai
 n(Woke Up And Smelled The Coffee). Castro additionally chose obscure songs
  by Wynonie Harris (Bloodshot Eyes)\, Eddie Taylor (Stroll Out West)\, Jim
 my Nolen(The Way You Do) and Johnny “Guitar” Watson (She Moves Me). Ac
 cording to Castro\, “These are not the obvious artists people generally 
 cover\, and that was most definitely on purpose.”\n\n\nCloser To The Bon
 e was produced by master guitarist and studio wizard Christoffer “Kid”
  Andersen (producer of over 100 albums)\, at his now-famous Greaseland Stu
 dio in San Jose\, California. Closer To The Bone finds Castro at the top o
 f his game\, bringing his seemingly limitless energy and boundless talent 
 to the studio. Guests on the album include labelmates Andersen\, Rick Estr
 in\, Chris Cain and Billy Branch\, along with saxophone player/vocalist De
 anna Bogart\, keyboard wizard Jim Pugh and\, on three songs\, the voices o
 f The Sons Of The Soul Revivers.\n\n\nBorn in San Jose\, California in 195
 5\, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age10. He fell under the spel
 l of six-string stars like Elvin Bishop\, Taj Mahal and Mike Bloomfield. A
 lmost every major rock and soul act\, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Jo
 plin to Tower Of Power\, toured through the area\, and Castro was at every
  show. He saw John Lee Hooker\, Albert King\, and Buddy Guy and Junior Wel
 ls at a local club\, JJ’s Blues Bar. Castro often jammed at JJ’s\, dre
 aming of busting out and making a name for himself. He created his own per
 sonal sound and style by mixing the blues\, R&B and funk music he loved in
 to his own\, instantly recognizable brand of uplifting\, soul-healing musi
 c.\n\n\nAs his reputation spread\, Tommy played in several Bay Area bands\
 , quickly making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist burst
 ing at the seams with talent. In 1985\, he became lead singer and guitaris
 t for the regionally popular blues band Nite Cry before joined popular War
 ner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones\, gigging all over the country. He f
 ormed the first Tommy Castro Band in1992 and has not stopped touring since
 . In 1995\, soon after releasing their first album on Blind Pig Records\, 
 The Tommy Castro Band were selected as the house band for three seasons on
  NBC Television’s Comedy Showcase (airing right after Saturday Night Liv
 e). The show brought Tommy in front of millions of viewers every week and 
 cemented his reputation as a not-to-be-missed live performer. \n\n\n\nAfte
 r a series of successful releases on the Blind Pig\, Telarc and 33rd Stree
 t labels\, Tommy Castro joined Alligator Records in 2009. His label debut\
 , Hard Believer\, launched to massive popular and critical acclaim. 2011 s

  Blues Revue—Live!. In2014\, Castro & The Painkillers released The Devil
  You Know\, followed by Method To My Madnessin 2015\, Stompin’ Groundin 
 2017\, and the irresistible Killin’ It—Live in 2019. With 2021’sA Bl
 uesman Came To Town\, Castro told the story of a young musician’s journe
 y through the blues world. AllMusic said the album was “a towering achie
 vement.” \n  \n\nCastro received his fourth prestigious and coveted Blu
 es 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 dec
 orated 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” w
 ith “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” Famed guitarist Joe Bo
 namassa says\, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar
  players. He always puts on a great show.”\n\n\nTommy Castro & The Paink
 illers’ deceptively simple approach on Closer To The Bone delivers one t
 hrilling performance after another. Says Castro\, “Here\, I’m not the 
 contemporary guy\, not the rock guy\, not the soul guy. This is the deeper
  blues side of me. I know\, with these songs\, I am at my most authentic.
