Tommy Castro
Castro's vicious, clean blues style, combined with his white-but-totally-sincere voice, have made his albums "must haves" for blues fans everywhere.



Event Profile

Steeped in the deepest traditions of blues guitar, San Francisco Bay Area artist Tommy Castro has been one of the genre's leading lights for over a decade now. Billboard magazine said of him: "[Castro is] a blues phenom, who combines the earthy soulfulness of Albert Collins and B.B. King with the polish of Robert Cray."
True enough: Castro's vicious, clean blues style has made his albums (1996's "Exception to the Rule," 1997's "Can't Keep a Good Man Down," 1999's "Right as Rain," 2001's "Guilty of Love" and 2003's "Gratitude") must-haves for blues fans everywhere.

Castro released "Soul Shaker" in February 2005.
