SUMMARY:Greenhouse Productions Presents: Tommy Castro & The Painkillers
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n“The hardest thing to do\,” says internationally beloved soul-blues rocker Tommy Castro\, “is be yourself\, take some chances and bring your fans along with you.” Throughout his long\, constantly evolving career\, guitarist\, singer and songwriter Tommy Castro has always remained true to himself while exploring\, growing and creating new music\, and he has taken his thousands of devoted fans right along with him. Since his solo debut in 1994\, he’s made 16 albums—the last seven for Alligator—each its own unique chapter in the book of Tommy Castro. Ranging from horn-fueled R&B to piping hot blues to fiery\, stripped-down rock ‘n’ roll\, each release is solidly built upon Castro’s unshakable musical foundation—a dynamic mix of 1960s-influenced guitar-fueled blues\, testifying Memphis-soaked blue-eyed soul and Latin-tinged East San Jose funk\, all driven by Castro’s grab-you-by-the-collar vocals and passionate guitar work. Blues Revue declared\, “Tommy Castro can do no wrong.” \nFor Castro’s new album\, a roots music odyssey entitled Tommy Castro Presents A Bluesman Came To Town\, he tells a timeless story. This special project was composed by Castro along with Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Hambridge. Through its 13 songs\, A Bluesman Came To Town tells the tale of a young man working on his family farm who gets bitten by the blues bug. He masters the guitar and heads out on the road seeking fame and fortune\, only to find what he’s left behind is the treasure he’s been looking for. Each memorable song—from the blistering title track to the pleading Child Don’t Go to the hopeful I Caught A Break to the emotional Blues Prisoner—stands on its own\, as well as contributing to the larger story. \n“I like to keep things fresh and interesting\,” says Castro\, “Tom and I have talked about making a record together for a long time. Collaborating with him was even better than I imagined. I had an outline for the story and then Tom and I talked it out and the songs just started to organically grow out of each other.” Castro continues\, “A Bluesman Came To Town isn’t a story about me. It’s pulled from some of my friends’ and my experiences though. I’ve seen first-hand for a lot of years what it’s like out there on the road.” \nThe road has always been Castro’s home away from home. He’ll instantly ignite a crowd\, turn them into loyal fans and then keep those fans coming back for more. He has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles and performed thousands of gigs\, leading his bands at clubs\, concert halls\, and festivals all over the world. Famed guitarist Joe Bonamassa says\, “Tommy has always been top of the heap among blues guitar players. He always puts on a great show.” \nBorn in San Jose\, California in 1955\, Tommy Castro first picked up a guitar at age 10. He fell under the spell of Elvin Bishop\, Taj Mahal\, Mike Bloomfield and other blues artists of the day. Almost every major rock and soul act\, from Ike and Tina Turner to Janis Joplin to the J. Geils Band 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 the same local blues bar\, JJ’s\, where he often jammed\, dreaming of one day busting out. Mixing the blues and rock and roll he loved and the soul music he heard blasting from lowriders in his neighborhood Tommy started to create his own personal sound and style. He honed his guitar skills and intense\, gritty vocals\, learning how to capture an audience as he performed on San Francisco’s highly competitive club scene. As his reputation spread\, Tommy played in a variety of Bay Area bands\, soon making a name for himself as a hotter-than-hot live artist bursting at the seams with talent. In 1985\, he was recruited to become lead singer and guitarist for the regionally popular blues band NiteCry\, gigging regularly throughout Northern California. Castro joined Warner Brothers’ artists The Dynatones in the late 1980s\, performing all over the country. He formed the first Tommy Castro Band in 1992 and has not stopped touring since. In 1995\, soon after releasing his first album on Blind Pig Records\, The Tommy Castro Band was selected as the house band for three seasons on NBC Television’s Comedy Showcase (airing right after Saturday Night Live). The show brought him in front of millions of viewers every week and cemented his reputation as a not-to-be-missed\, nationally touring live performer. \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\, was released to massive popular and critical acclaim. With the album\, Castro won four of his six career Blues Music Awards\, including the coveted B.B. King Entertainer Of The Year Award (the very highest award a blues performer can receive). In 2012\, Castro stripped his music down to its raw essence\, creating a high-energy\, larger-than-life sound with the formation of The Painkillers. Tommy Castro & The Painkillers’ initial release\, The Devil You Know\, was embraced by his legion of fans and discovered by hordes of new ones. With the current version of The Painkillers (bassist Randy McDonald\, drummer Bowen Brown and keyboardist Michael Emerson)\, Castro released Method To My Madness in 2015\, Stompin’ Ground in 2017\, and the irresistible Killin’ It–Live in 2019\, with critics shouting praise and admirers cheering the group’s every move. The band has coalesced into one of the telepathically tightest units Castro has ever assembled\, making them one of the most in-demand live roots music acts performing today\, delivering soul-shaking\, muscular music. \nCastro’s relentless road-dog approach—gig after gig\, night after night—has won him loyal\, lifelong fans everywhere he plays. The Washington Post says Castro is “phenomenal and funky” with “soulful vocals and inspired blues guitar.” The San Francisco Chronicle describes Castro’s music as\, “funky Southern soul\, big city blues and classic rock…silvery guitar licks that simultaneously sound familiar and fresh.” No Depression says “Castro plays gritty\, string-bending blues like a runaway train…a glorious blend that rocks the soul and lifts the spirits.” \nUpon release of A Bluesman Came To Town\, Castro will hit the road with The Painkillers\, performing fan favorites as well as songs from the new album. “I’ve made seven albums for Alligator\,” Castro says\, “and I’ve never made the same record twice. I will always try to be my most authentic self. I give it all I’ve got every time we hit the stage!” \nSave 10% with membership!

SUMMARY:Greenhouse Productions Presents:  John McEuen & The Circle Band
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nOften referred to as ‘the String Wizard’\, he weaves stories of his travels and family life (he has raised 7 kids)\, taking us through where his musical path has taken him. \nA founding member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in 1966\, John McEuen instigated the 1972 classic Will the Circle Be Unbroken album\, (inducted in to the Library of Congress as ‘one of America’s most important recordings). He has earned Emmy nominations\, Grammy Awards\, CMA acclaim\, The Western Heritage Award\, and many other accolades can be found on his website: www.johnmceuen.com. \nProud to be an integral part of the first American band to go to Russia (in 1977!)\, John’s love of performing is evident when during his shows he takes us ‘behind the curtain’ of the music world that so many of us know of only as listeners\, and shows us how we have all been a part of it\, more than we may know. \nMcEuen’s XM radio show\, Acoustic Traveller\, is in its 6th year\, and you can find his new Americana Music Show on Syndicatednews.net (of which he is CEO) \nAs winner of the 2010 Best of the West Performer award from the Folk Alliance organization\, John’s show is sure to be one enjoyed by all. He also won Best Bluegrass Album Grammy that year for his production of The Crow – Steve Martin). John in June of 2013 was honored with the Charlie Poole Lifetime Achievement Award in North Carolina. \nWith music from 1860’s to now\, original songs laced with known hits\, and a special tribute to the ‘Circle’ album music (and the stories behind it)\, it all comes to life in an evening of acoustic music in overdrive. \nSave 10% with membership!

SUMMARY:Interference Series Presents: Mr. Ho's Orchestrotica
DESCRIPTION:Buy Tickets\n\nThe Interference Series is beyond excited to present Boston-based Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica. Join us for an electric evening featuring instruments and music from around the world. \nIn the same way a chef de cuisine runs a kitchen\, percussionist Brian O’Neill leads a team of five musical creators who deftly collaborate on instruments foreign and domestic to form modernist delicacies for hungry\, curious listeners. From the high arts of jazz and chamber music to adaptations of mid-century exotica and pop art\, the quintet version of Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica renders O’Neill’s original compositions and curious arrangements of Bach\, Gershwin\, Shostakovich and John Adams into cinematic\, layered music for armchair travelers ready to journey off road. \nWhile the quintet eschews most of the musical forms\, rhythms\, and styles of the 1950s exotica sound that inspired O’Neill\, it fully embraces the unique genre’s love of escapism\, whether through deliberate\, out-of-context use of global sounds or through jazz improvisation that doesn’t swing and deliberately imitates the rhythm of a skipping record. On the listener’s plate might be equal parts scratch and sniff\, bongos with a fugue\, and a cat fight at a piano recital. On the stage\, the ensemble skillfully negotiates detailed compositions and arrangements of classical works while relying on listening and instinct to drive passionate improvisation. The quintet has delighted ears across the US and internationally and was awarded a $15\,000 touring grant from SouthArts’ JazzRoad Tours program in 2024. \n“If John Zorn is an exotica Picasso\, O’Neill is his Georges-Braque counterpart in cubism’s transposition to music.”—AllAboutJazz \n“No other band on the planet sounds anything remotely like Mr. Ho’s Orchestrotica.”—Lucid Culture \nSave 10% with membership! Use unique member number at checkout.
