Great dinner show! The venue brought me back 55 years when my parents would take a drive from Mill Valley to Nicasio on some Sunday afternoons with my younger sisters! Friday’s event was even more special as I was with my high school crush from 54 years ago and he was able to see Tony after the show, whom he has known for over 30 years!
Tommy Castro again put on a great show with Deanna Bogart and a local to Lagunitas residence, Elvin Bishop (unannounced) dropped by for a couple of songs.
I’ve had the unique privilege to watch Tommy Castro go from being a handsome front man who played guitar and would come into my place on Wednesday afternoons to “steal licks from Ron Thompson” to what he is today: A Four-time B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award-winner.
A genuine entertainer has command. Command of his/her instruments, command of his/her band, resulting in command of his/her audience.
Tommy checks off everything on the list.
He hasn’t lost a note in his soulful voice, and his command of the guitar has developed to a master-level, employing a total of five guitars in the show on Sunday, (In a huge nod to Ron Thompson, he brought out his Resonator during a second act acoustic set.) and even left his signature Castrocaster by Delaney at home.
He knew his audience, too, in playing a lot of songs from his prodigious catalog that don’t make the cut a lot of times. (“Blues Prisoner” was a highlight)
Castro; phenomenal. The Painkillers; extraordinary.
And yes, he’s still handsome.
First, they layout at Rancho Nicasio is much improved. The grass was replaced with synthetic turf and that means no wet grass/dirt/mud on my expensive Cole Hahn canvas deck shoes. Yippee!!!
Second, I’m not too sure if the new members of Pablo Cruise know this, they were just absolutely amazing. Someone had to have hired a voice coach because they sounded really good, better than ever with the new lead singer etc.
Overall I think I’m going to head back to Rancho Nicasio with a brand new pair shoes this summer.
Everything was perfect!! Beautiful setting, good weather and the band was sensational!! A fabulous two hour set of originals and a tribute to Patsy Cline!!
Spectacular show in a spectacular setting
Dave Alvin, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and the Guilty Ones played an absolutely fantastic show, and Rancho Nicasio is a terrific venue!!
Petty Theft never disappoints. This is a group of highly talented musicians who are able to perform Tom Petty's music at a high level. During this time, after enduring two years of continuing COVID, their music lifts me up and gives me joy! Thank you!
