Join us for another another amazing night of free Music in the Mountains in Big Sky as we welcome the award-winning Tommy Castro and the Painkillers to Len Hill Park in the Big Sky Town Center! Opening the show will be the Madeleine Hawthorne Band.

Castro’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.” Castro has won 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), and has been signed to the legendary blues label Alligator Records since 2009. “Castro is one of the brightest stars in the blues-soul genre. Voracious blues energy and ultimate soul power, impassioned vocals and pure inventiveness in his stellar guitar solos.” –Blues Music Magazine.

The Park opens at 6, music starts at 6:30, headliner will play at 8 p.m. Admission is free! Please, remember that NO DOGS or GLASS CONTAINERS are allowed in the park. Also, this year we are partnering with Bozeman Health and the Big Sky Community Organization to make our events TOBACCO and SMOKE FREE! Thank you in advance for helping to make this public gathering space welcome and safe for all.
