SUMMARY:Tommy Castro & The Painkillers with opener GA-20
LOCATION:Ground Zero Blues Club Biloxi
DESCRIPTION:Tommy Castro & The Painkillers with opener GA-20\, with Tommy C
 astro and the Painkillers at Ground Zero Blues Club Biloxi in Biloxi\, MS 
 on Sunday\, November 15\, 2026.\n\nCategory: Music · Blues.\n\nTickets fr
 om $38 to $455.\n\nMultiple award-winning\, California-based blues and roc
 k sensation Tommy Castro is the guitar slinging\, soul-singing leader of t
 he telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro s released 17 prev
 ious albums over the course of his four-decade career. Each release featur
 es its own individual sound and style\, ranging from horn-fueled Rn roll. 
 With his new album\, 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 back in the day. Closer To The Bone is the most unvarnished\, st
 raight-ahead blues release of Castros career\, one that bristles with ever
 y ounce of his dynamic energy and raw emotion. On Closer To The Bone (Cast
 ros 8th Alligator release)\, Castro and his Painkillersbassist Randy McDon
 ald\, keyboardist Mike Emerson and drummer Bowen Brownmix new Castro origi
 nals (Aint Worth The Heartache\, Cant Catch A Break\, Crazy Woman Blues) w
 ith songs originally performed by many of Castros friends and heroes. Arti
 sts and their songs include Johnny Nitro (OneMore Night\, on which Castro 
 plays his treasured 1966 black Fender Stratocaster\, a guitar once owned b
 y Nitro himself)\, Magic Slim (Hole In The Wall)\, Ron Thompson (Freight T
 rain)\, Mike Duke (Keep Your Dog Inside) and Chris Cain(Woke Up And Smelle
 d The Coffee). Castro additionally chose obscure songs by Wynonie Harris (
 Bloodshot Eyes)\, Eddie Taylor (Stroll Out West)\, Jimmy Nolen(The Way You
  Do) and Johnny Guitar Watson (She Moves Me). According to Castro\, These 
 are not the obvious artists people generally cover\, and that was most def
 initely on purpose.Closer To The Bone was produced by master guitarist and
  studio wizard Christoffer Kid Andersen (producer of over 100 albums)\, at
  his now-famous Greaseland Studio in San Jose\, California. Closer To The 
 Bone finds Castro at the top of his game\, bringing his seemingly limitles
 s energy and boundless talent to the studio. Guests on the album include l
 abel mates Andersen\, Rick Estrin\, Chris Cain and Billy Branch\, along wi
 th saxophone player/vocalist Deanna Bogart\, keyboard wizard Jim Pugh and\
 , on three songs\, the voices of The Sons Of The Soul Revivers. Born in Sa
 n Jose\, California in 1955\, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age
  10. He fell under the spell of six-string stars like Elvin Bishop\, Taj M
 ahal and Mike Bloomfield. Almost every major rock and soul act\, from Ike 
 and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to Tower Of Power\, toured through the are
 a\, and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker\, Albert King\, a
 nd Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at a local club\, JJs Blues Bar. Castro ofte
 n jammed at JJs\, dreaming of busting out and making a name for himself. H
 e created his own personal sound and style by mixing the blues\, R&B and f
 unk music he loved into his own\, instantly recognizable brand of upliftin
 g\, soul-healing music. As his reputation spread\, Tommy played in several
  Bay Area bands\, quickly making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot l
 ive artist bursting at the seams with talent.\n\nPlease be aware of the fo
