The hardest thing to do, says internationally beloved soul-blues rocker Tommy Castro, is be yourself, take some chances and bring your fans along with you. Throughout his long, constantly evolving career, guitarist, singer and songwriter Tommy Castro has always remained true to himself while exploring, growing and creating new music, and he has taken his thousands of devoted fans right along with him. Since his solo debut in 1994, hes made 16 albumsthe last seven for Alligatoreach its own unique chapter in the book of Tommy Castro. Ranging from horn-fueled Rn roll, each release is solidly built upon Castros unshakable musical foundationa dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk, all driven by Castros grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. Blues Revue declared, Tommy Castro can do no wrong.
