Upon arriving\, the Illinois-born singer/songwriter/actor pursued a major life change\, working 12-hour days on a local farm—a turn of events that catalyzed an extraordinary burst of creativity and redefined his sense of purpose as an artist. On his new album Rhumba Country\, LaFarge reveals his newly heightened devotion to making music that channels pure joy. “There was a time when I glorified sadness because I lost sight of who I was\, but now I understand that creating and expressing joy is my gift\, and gifts are meant to be shared\,” he says. Reclaiming his voice\, LaFarge has recorded his boldest album yet.  \n\n\n\nRhumba Country was initially shaped from material that emerged while LaFarge was deep in work on the farm. “I’d be pushing a plow or scattering seeds\, and the songs would just come to me\,” he recalls. “It was tremendously inspirational and made me realize that apart from singing\, farming is perhaps the oldest human art form.” But as he moved forward with his songwriting\, something felt undeniably amiss. LaFarge then spoke with fellow Midwestern transplant Elliot Bergman (Wild Belle)\, who suggested he return to city life in Los Angeles for a season so that the two musicians could work together—a collaboration that soon brought the rhumba to LaFarge’s country. As he immersed himself in the album’s creation\, LaFarge began dreaming up a kaleidoscopic sound informed by his love of music from far-ranging eras and corners of the globe\, including mambo\, tropicália\, rocksteady\, and mid-century American rock-and-roll. Co-produced along with Chris Seefried and Bergman and recorded in L.A.\, the resulting Rhumba Country is an invitation to come together to celebrate life and love. “The songs that naturally come to me are upbeat and make you wanna dance or at least bop your head—they’re all very colorful\,” says LaFarge. “I used to think of my music in dark blue\, but now I see it in technicolor.” \n\n\n\nOn the album-opening “One You\, One Me\,” LaFarge offers a retreat into the charmed and rhapsodic world of Rhumba Country\, sharing a breezy love song rendered with radiant simplicity. “The same way Picasso worked his whole life to paint like a child\, I’ve been more focused on simplifying my music over the years\,” he says. “The fewer the chord movements and simpler the lyrics\, the clearer the message. It’s about trying to get to the point where the songs are almost like prayers.” In the case of “One You\, One Me\,” that benediction centers on LaFarge’s belief in “evolving and working hard to love and be loved because that’s what we’re here to do.” And like all of Rhumba Country\, “One You\, One Me” serves as a prime showcase for LaFarge’s unforgettably distinct voice and ineffable charisma—an element he’s also continually brought to his work as an actor\, including recent endeavors like his turn as Hank Snow on CMT’s Sun Records\, as well as roles in the Southern Gothic thriller The Devil All the Time and the forthcoming rock opera O’Dessa. LaFarge pares his songs down to the essential throughout Rhumba Country\, ornamenting each track with subtle details that immediately delight the listener. On “Run Run Run\,” for instance\, layered percussion and distorted guitar tones converge in what he describes as a “tropical-gospel song.” Graced with the heavenly harmonies of his wife\, Addie Hamilton (a singer/songwriter in her own right)\, “Run Run Run” ultimately delivers an exultant call to overcome the obstacles and distractions that keep us from pursuing our calling. “That’s based on the words of Paul the Apostle\, who said to run the race set before you\,” LaFarge explains.  \n\n\n\nOver the course of Rhumba Country’s ten effusive tracks\, LaFarge dispenses hard-won wisdom in a way that’s never heavy-handed\, often imbuing his songwriting with all the guileless magic of a fable or folktale. A perfect example of that dynamic\, the ’60s-R&B-influenced “Sister André” was inspired by the true story of the French nun who recently passed away at the age of 118. “She lived through both world wars\, the flu epidemic\, all the way down the line through Covid\,” says LaFarge. “After I heard her story\, I started singing about a character who’s got a lot of sage advice to share\, and it turned into a song of encouragement for those who are lonely and hoping for love.”  \n\n\n\nOn “So Long Chicago\,” LaFarge slips into lighthearted storytelling as he muses on the cultural phenomenon of those in colder climates heading south for winter. Co-written with Hamilton\, the playfully cheeky snowbird ode mines inspiration from ’70s-era Chuck Berry\, unfolding in freewheeling guitar work and fiercely stomping rhythms. A bona fide musical eccentric\, LaFarge further flaunts his idiosyncratic sensibilities on the magnificently loopy “Like a Sailor\,” a dance-ready and dreamlike number that speaks to the inevitability of struggle on one’s path.  \n\n\n\nAs he documents his tireless journey toward finding his true home\, LaFarge also reimagines a tune from reggae legend Ken Boothe. Spotlighting his supreme talents as a song interpreter\, his take on “Home\, Home\, Home” infuses a heartfelt longing into every moment and\, in turn\, breathes new life into the late-’60s rocksteady classic. “The more you listen to music from around the world\, you realize everybody’s got their form of country music\,” says LaFarge. “It goes back to why I named the album Rhumba Country \n\n\n\nin the first place: it’s poking fun at the futility of boxing everything into but a few genres\, ‘What is folk music? What is country or soul?’ I’ve always bucked at all those boundaries and found it much more exciting to create my own genre.”  \n\n\n\nLaFarge’s boundless curiosity for music from other cultures played a vital part in shaping the album’s instantly captivating sound. “Listening to a lot of music from around the world helped simplify my approach\,” he notes\, naming Brazilian singer/composer Jorge Ben among his key inspirations on Rhumba Country. “When you scale back the chord progressions and get a good rhythm going\, the musicians have more freedom to play anything or nothing at all. There’s so much space everywhere\, and as a singer\, it allows me to be that lead instrument and weave in and out however I want.” At the same time\, LaFarge brought a more intense and focused rigor to his songwriting process. “I need to trust in what feels good to me\, but I also have to ask myself\, ‘Is the message coming through? Am I stimulating thought in a way that might shift someone’s perspective? Am I being honest in telling my story\, and am I doing it in love?’” he says.  \n\n\n\nReflecting on the origins of Rhumba Country\, LaFarge points to one of the most crucial revelations he experienced while farming: a newfound understanding of the uniquely human potential to be “conduits of continuous creation.” To that end\, his effort to provide listeners with “medicine for the soul” has led LaFarge toward a deeper level of dedication when it comes to nurturing his own spirit. “You have to live the life you’re singing in your songs—no matter what you’re going through\,” he says. “Everything will come out in your music whether you want it to or not. I’ve realized that the more I can pursue goodness and live in peace\, the more I can make the music I was put here to make.” And by living with intention and fully connecting with his truest purpose\, LaFarge might finally be ready to lay his head in a place he calls home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT CICADA RHYTHM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Cicada Rhythm hit the road in support of their 2015 debut\, they were a homespun\, stripped-down folk duo\, armed with songs that mixed acoustic instruments and soft dynamics with the intimate charm of two harmonized voices.  \n\n\n\nThree years later\, bandmates Andrea DeMarcus and Dave Kirslis have upsized their sound considerably with Everywhere I Go. Recorded in a string of studios across the southeast\, it’s a snapshot of a band on the move\, with new members filling their lineup and a louder set of influences propelling their sound forward. There are roots-rock tunes\, slow waltzes\, politically-minded lyrics\, front-porch folksongs and backwoods ballads\, all delivered by a group of road warriors who’ve cut their teeth not only in the writing room\, but onstage\, too.  \n\n\n\n“In the beginning\, we were two singer/songwriters making a living on $50 per show\,” says DeMarcus\, a Juilliard-trained bassist who met Kirslis — her bandmate and future husband — when he hopped off a freight train and landed in her Georgia hometown. The two quickly whipped up a musical chemistry rooted in the steady pluck of DeMarcus’ upright bass\, the rootsy punch of Kirslis’ guitar\, and the raw blend of their voices. As romance blossomed between the musicians\, so did a career. “We had to keep it a duo\,” DeMarcus remembers of their early days on the road\, “because we couldn’t afford to bring along anybody else. When we released our debut record\, we started touring with a drummer\, and the sound just evolved from there. We realized we needed to demand attention\, rather than waiting for people at the shows to shut up.” \n\n\n\nPeople did pay attention\, taking notice of Cicada Rhythm’s ability to merge both traditional and contemporary Americana sounds along with topical lyrics\, which often touched upon modern issues like environmentalism. Among the band’s biggest fans were members of two A-list Americana bands: Kenneth Pattengale\, best known as the spellbinding guitarist and harmony vocalist of the Milk Carton Kids\, and Oliver Wood\, lead singer and guitarist for the Wood Brothers. When it came time to record Cicada Rhythm’s newest batch of songs in 2017\, Pattengale and Wood shared production duties\, giving Everywhere I Go a broad\, diverse punch.  \n\n\n\nA sense of forward momentum sweeps its way throughout Everywhere I Go\, whose very title conjures up the image of a band in transit. Kicking off with “America’s Open Roads” and winding to a finish with the Bob Dylan-worthy “Back Home\,” it’s an album written during a time of travel\, of growth\, of being together. Like interstate poets\, DeMarcus and Kirslis write about the country unfolding outside their car window at highway speed\, spinning stories not only about the places they visit\, but personal and social struggles\, as well.  \n\n\n\nAn Appalachian-sounding anthem for the female empowerment movement\, “Do I Deserve It Yet” takes a look at the modern woman’s struggle in a man’s world as DeMarcus wails in the chorus\, “Won’t you tell me when I am enough? ‘Cause I can never tell.” “America’s Open Roads” resonates similarly in today’s climate of division and controversial leaders\, with the emotionally hard-hitting opening line\, “Every day starts with a terrible dream.” Although written outside of political context\, these songs took on new meanings once Cicada Rhythm began integrating them into their shows.  \n\n\n\n“We were touring up the East Coast one week after the election\, and the nation was visibly shook up\,” says Kirslis\, who shares vocal duties throughout the record. “Suddenly\, a lot of Andrea’s lyrics seemed to have double meanings. The song is about keeping roads open\, rather than build walls over them. As we began playing more and more new songs\, they began paralleling some things that were going on in the outside world.” \n\n\n\nFans of Cicada Rhythm’s debut will remember the socially-conscious “Do Not Destroy\,” an eco-friendly song that urged its listener to take care of the natural world. Much of Everywhere I Go follows in that song’s footsteps\, forming a bridge between the two records.  \n\n\n\n“We’re changing\, but we haven’t lost our sincerity\,” DeMarcus adds. “A lot of the songs are still political. They’re emotional. They’re raw\, which has always been an important part of our sound. We haven’t lost our identity; we’ve just grown around it.” \n\n\n\nProducers Pattengale and Wood assisted in that growth by beefing up the band’s sound with strings\, Hammond organ\, electric guitar\, and pedal steel. Working with the producers separately allowed Cicada Rhythm to revisit and revise a number of songs that had already become live staples. “You can’t underestimate the power of a fresh set of ears\,” DeMarcus says. “It’s helpful to know what someone else thinks your song can be\, particularly someone who hasn’t heard the song nightly for the past two months. A lot of the time\, collaboration is the reason something becomes better.” \n\n\n\nEmbracing Everywhere I Go as “a patchwork album\,” Cicada Rhythm tracked its 12 songs in recording studios\, living rooms\, and gospel churches throughout Tennessee and Georgia. Some songs were performed live in the studio and captured on analog tape\, while album highlights like “Even in the Shallows” were tracked more methodically. String sections were added — a nod to DeMarcus’ fondness for the Beatles\, whose own songs often made room for symphonic arrangements — without taking away from the band’s rustic charm. Together\, the album’s track list blends orchestral folk-pop and ramshackle roots-rock in equal numbers\, giving Cicada Rhythm more fuel for their music-filled travels.  \n\n\n\n“We named the album after a line in ‘America’s Open Roads\,’ but hopefully\, this album will be our ticket to everywhere we go\,” explains DeMarcus. “Wherever we are\, these songs will be with us.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 21+\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

SUMMARY:Daniel Donato's Cosmic Country
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n$33 MEMBER / $38 ADVANCE / $43 DAY OF \n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 21+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINALLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUNDERWRITTEN BY \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT DANIEL DONATO’S COSMIC COUNTRY\n\n\n\nGenre: Jam / Country / Rock \n\n\n\nWEBSITE / TIKTOK / SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE / INSTAGRAM / TWITTER   \n\n\n\nThere are a lot of musical influences and sources that Daniel Donato has drawn on during his career and that inform his latest album\, Reflector (Retrace Music)\, his first all-original album. But within those\, Donato has carved out a unique and individualized spot for himself\, one that speaks to the deep American music heritage that inspires him — and that he’s pushing towards the future with inspired\, intentional vigor.  \n\n\n\nHe calls it Cosmic Country\, a moniker that’s both self-descriptive and a statement of purpose. It’s an organic rock band aesthetic with plenty of roadhouse twang; a showcase for Donato’s instrumental virtuosity and facility for melodically infectious songcraft. Bridging Nashville and the Great West\, Kentucky and mid-60s northern California\, tie-dye and plaid\, it’s a world of his own\, and a wide world of musical adventure at that.  \n\n\n\nWhile growing up in Nashville his his father\, who turned his young son on to music of all genres\, suggested the fledgling and industriously minded (even at just 14) artist start busking in Nashville’s lower Broadway area and outside concerts\, for eight hours at a time on the weekends. One night\, the two happened by Robert’s Western World where legendary honky-tonk local mainstay the Don Kelly Band were performing. “Their songbook was that of my main influences still to this day — Merle Haggard\, Willie Nelson\, Waylon Jennings\, Bob Wills\, Marty Robbins\, Bill Monroe\, traditional bluegrass music\, Hank Williams Sr. — old-timey music with real stories and emotions that everybody has. It just hooked me right away.” Donato eventually became a member of the band\, playing four hours a night at Robert’s (464 shows in total). \n\n\n\nAnother piece of the puzzle came through later in Donato’s teenage years — the Grateful Dead\, thanks to a high school American History teacher who gave him a pile of bootleg recordings when he was 18. “When I discovered Jerry Garcia\, there’s really never been anyone who writes like that\,” says Donato. “From there I went on to discover Bob Dylan and all the great writers and made me want to make that part of what I did as well.” \n\n\n\nThe whole package of player\, singer\, writer and band leader was in place. Two albums in\, Daniel Donato and Cosmic Country\, featuring Nathan Aronowitz (keyboards/guitars/vocals)\, Will McGee (bass/vocals) and Will Clark (drums\, percussion/vocals) are selling out venues throughout the country and bringing their brand of Cosmic Country to an ever growing\, passionate fanbase. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 21+\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

With a career built largely through grassroots social media support\, the folk-rock singer has demonstrated that listeners are hungry for earnest storytelling rooted in age-old American musical traditions. Marcagi announced himself with “The Other Side\,” a depiction of the claustrophobia of small-town life\, but it was his cinematic tribute to taking a leap of faith — “Scared to Start” — that pushed his TikTok view counts into the millions. In a few short weeks\, he had built a legion of eager fans and secured a record deal with just two songs to his name. His debut Warner Records EP\, American Romance\, expands on that promise\, highlighting the timeless sound and engaging sense of emotional truth that has made Marcagi’s music so immediately compelling. \n\n\n\nThough he grew up playing and singing in rock bands\, Marcagi always struggled to envision himself as a solo artist. However\, his persistent desire to record some of his sparer acoustic songs — ones he rarely dared to perform in public — eventually inspired him to try his luck. Dipping into his savings\, he trekked to upstate New York\, decamping to a studio outside of Woodstock to work with producer David Baron (Lana Del Rey\, The Lumineers\, Shania Twain). The two assembled a team of crack musicians to bolster Marcagi’s intimate and unvarnished guitar and vocal performances\, employing folk and bluegrass instrumentation\, cavernous rock drums\, and luxuriant vocal harmonies. \n\n\n\nAll of the songs Marcagi recorded — including the five on American Romance — mix authentic storytelling with sadness\, frustration\, and ennui. Avoiding confessional outpourings\, he turns his experiences growing up in the Midwest into vignettes exploring the cracks in human relationships. By his own account\, coming from a largely conservative and religious town meant that a tightly prescribed set of family values were passed onto him. The EP’s title track explores this directly\, sketching scenes from an archetypal failed marriage of teen sweethearts. \n\n\n\n“There are all these familial norms you have to fall into\,” Marcagi explains. “I just watched a lot of my friends fall into that trap of getting married really young and then watching it falling apart before they are even thirty.” \n\n\n\nEven at his most unsparing\, Marcagi is careful not to pass judgment on the decisions of the characters in his songs. If the songs on American Romance carry any message\, it is that there is no “right way” to get through life\, and that we learn something we can use from every relationship. This message comes through pointedly “In the Light\,” which Marcagi claims he connects with more than any other song he’s written. The defiant stomp-along anthem is carried by an infectious mandolin and piano motif and disarmingly direct lyrics: “So fuck all you bought\, it ain’t what you got/And be who you need and not what you’re taught/You know from all this pain you cannot hide/And stand there in the light.” \n\n\n\nMarcagi never undermines his listeners or takes them for granted. “Audiences are usually smarter than the musicians they are listening to\,” he says. For him\, there’s plenty of evidence that modern listeners of all generations understand and connect with specificity and sophistication in songwriting. This is part of why he aspires to remain as open and approachable as possible — in both his music and his public persona. If what has happened in his career during the past year is any indication\, he may be on to something. \n\n\n\n“I want people to feel like they know me\,” Marcagi says. “I’ve never really connected to that mysterious rock band thing — four blurry faces in a field where you don’t know who the guys are. I don’t want to hide.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT ASHLEY KUTCHER\n\n\n\n\nAshley Kutcher is a Baltimore-born singer\, songwriter\, and artist who marries her emotive voice and highly personal storytelling to create country-tinged pop reminiscent of Shania Twain with the pop sensibility of Kelsea Ballerini & LANY. In 2019\, Kutcher performed countless gigs in local bars in between attending college for nursing. Gaining traction with original music online\, she answered a TikTok comment with “Love You From A Distance.” After taking over TikTok and inspiring millions of creatives\, the song exploded to the tune of over 95mm Spotify streams to date and paved the way for her first two EPs: One Eighty and Survive My Own Mind. In their wake\, she sold out her first two headline US Tours. Ashley released her debut album “House on The Water” in January 2024\, and released her “Play Responsibly” EP in October 2024. \n\n\n\nAshley’s latest music is a return to her roots as an acoustic singer/songwriter\, marrying hard hitting hooks with a more organic & country influenced sound. Ash performed at SXSW in March 2024\, conducted her third headline tour in May\, along with another more extensive headline run in Nov. \n\n\n\nLearn More About Ashley Kutcher: WEBSITE / TWITTER / FACEBOOK / SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE / INSTAGRAM  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 13+ (16 and Under Must Have an Adult Guardian Present)\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits

SUMMARY:Tommy Castro and the Painkillers
DESCRIPTION:Tommy Castro and the Painkillers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm \n\n\n\n$35 MEMBER / $40 ADVANCE / $50 DAY OF \n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / 21+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINALLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT TOMMY CASTRO AND THE PAINKILLERS\n\n\n\nGenre: BLUES \n\n\n\n WEBSITE / SPOTIFY / YOUTUBE / INSTAGRAM / FACEBOOK  \n\n\n\nMultiple award-winning\, California-based blues and rock sensation Tommy Castro is the guitar slinging\, soul-singing leader of the telepathically tight and wildly raucous Tommy Castro & The Painkillers. He’s released 17 previous albums over the course of his four-decade career. Each release features its own 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 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\, straight-ahead blues release of Castro’s career\, one that bristles with every ounce of his dynamic energy and raw emotion. \n\n\n\nOn Closer To The Bone (Castro’s 8th Alligator release)\, Castro and his Painkillers—bassist Randy McDonald\, keyboardist Mike Emerson and drummer Bowen Brown—mix new Castro originals (Ain’t Worth The Heartache\, Can’t Catch A Break\, Crazy Woman Blues) with songs originally performed by many of Castro’s friends and heroes. Artists and their songs include Johnny Nitro (One More Night\, 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 Cain (Woke Up And Smelled 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 definitely on purpose.” \n\n\n\nCloser 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 limitless energy and boundless talent to the studio. Guests on the album include labelmates Andersen\, Rick Estrin\, Chris Cain and Billy Branch\, along with saxophone player/vocalist Deanna Bogart\, keyboard wizard Jim Pugh and\, on three songs\, the voices of The Sons Of The Soul Revivers. \n\n\n\nBorn in San 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 Mahal 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 area\, and Castro was at every show. He saw John Lee Hooker\, Albert King\, and Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at a local club\, JJ’s Blues Bar. Castro often jammed at JJ’s\, dreaming of busting out and making a name for himself. He created his own personal sound and style by mixing the blues\, R&B and funk music he loved into his own\, instantly recognizable brand of uplifting\, soul-healing music. \n\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 bursting at the seams with talent. In 1985\, he became lead singer and guitarist for the regionally popular blues band NiteCry before joined popular Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones\, gigging all over the country. He formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992 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 Live). 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\nAfter a series of successful releases on the Blind Pig\, Telarc and 33rd Street labels\, Tommy Castro joined Alligator Records in 2009. His label debut\, Hard Believer\, launched to massive popular and critical acclaim. 2011 saw the release of the raucous Tommy Castro Presents The Legendary Rhythm & Blues Revue—Live!. In 2014\, Castro & The Painkillers released The Devil You Know\, followed by Method To My Madness in 2015\, Stompin’ Ground in 2017\, and the irresistible Killin’ It—Live in 2019. With 2021’s A Bluesman Came To Town\, Castro told the story of a young musician’s journey through the blues world. AllMusic said the album was “a towering achievement.” \n\n\n\nCastro received his fourth prestigious and coveted Blues 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 decorated 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” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says\, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.” \n\n\n\nTommy Castro & The Painkillers’ deceptively simple approach on Closer To The Bone delivers one thrilling 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.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTICKETS\n\n\n\nVIEW CALENDAR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDETAILS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSHOW @ 8:00 pm / DOORS @ 7:00 pm\n\n\n\nSEATED SHOW / 21+\n\n\n\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\n\n\n\nLimit of 4 tickets per purchaser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented By: The Arts Campus At Willits
