An infectious blend of funky blues, gritty soul and harddriving house rockers, plus a jam-packed schedule of redhot live performances, have made Tommy Castro one of the most beloved artists in roots music. His 2015 release, Method To My Madness, has scanned over 12,000 units.

A two-time winner of the Blues Music Award (the Grammy of the Blues) for Entertainer Of The Year, Tommy averages over 150 shows a year at clubs, theatres and festivals. Dates in support of Stompin’ Ground include a two-week tour of Europe in November, with stops in Belgium, Netherlands (three shows), Germany (six shows) and France. Tommy has also performed in Canada and England multiple times.

Alligator publicity, radio and social media will be setting up interviews, features, in-studio performances and more for an artist that’s been covered by Billboard, DownBeat, Relix, Vintage Guitar, NoDepression, PopMatters, AllMusic, Mojo (UK), The Blues (UK), Blues Matters (UK), Soul Bag (France) and Blues Magazine (France).

Stompin’ Ground features a dozen irresistible tracks split between fresh Castro originals and revitalized versions of songs that inspired Tommy when he was coming of age in San Jose, CA. Guest artists include David Hidalgo of Los Lobos, Charlie Musselwhite, Danielle Nicole (Trampled Under Foot) and Mike Zito.
