Tommy Castro: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Tommy Castro

Tommy Castro is a rock/pop guitarist and singer who fronts Tommy Castro & The Painkillers, a working band built around tight ensemble playing. In New York City he brings that project to the Iridium, a room known for putting musicians close to the audience and the clock. Castro’s sets tend to move like a bar-band history lesson, stitching together groove-driven originals with the kind of familiar structures that leave space for improvisation. His performances favor momentum and musical clarity over spectacle.
