Castro is an American blues, R&B and rock guitarist and singer. He has been recording since the mid-1990s. Born in San Jose, California in 1955, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. According to all the press and hype and hoopla for a time during the 1990s, Tommy was pegged as the next big star of the blues.
His music has taken him from local stages to national and international touring. His music sits squarely at the center of an evolving tradition of rock and blues.
In 2001 and 2002, B.B. King asked Castro to open his summer concert tours. Castro received an open invitation to join King on stage for the nightly finale.
In May 2010, The Blues Foundation awarded Castro multiple Blues Music Award honors for Blues Male Artist of the Year, Contemporary Blues Album of the Year, B.B. King Entertainer of the Year, and with his band, Band of the Year.
