Tommy Castro & The Painkillers To Rock The Alberta Rose Theatre- Feb. 25th

Two-time Blues Music Awards BB King Entertainer of the Year winner Tommy Castro returns to Portland with his band the Painkillers for what will definitely be another dynamic night of high energy blues on Wednesday, February 25th 8:00pm at the Alberta Rose Theatre. After a number of highly successful years playing as a horn-fueled band, Castro decided to strip down the band to its raw, basic form in the original style of hard rockin’ blues that he had begun his career with. The Painkillers consist of Castro on guitar and vocals, joined by only drums, bass and keys. This format has proven to be a crowd pleasing approach as his latest release The Devil You Know has garnered much acclaim and awards, including the Cascade Blues Association’s Muddy Award for National Recording of the Year in 2014.

The Alberta Rose Theatre is located at 3000 NE Alberta Street and Tommy Castro & The Painkillers is an all ages event with minors okay when accompanied by a parent or guardian. Tickets are $20.00 advance and $25.00 day of show and are available at www.AlbertaRoseTheatre.com.
