Blues, at 2125 Lombard will be a highlight to any San Francisco stay for visitors thirsting for a taste of San Francisco s home brewed and blended blues music. At Blues, or any other venue, Tommy s fans are very appreciative of the hard work that he puts into his performances, and they reward him with an uncommon loyalty and respect. Wednesday night was no exception to the rule. Some of this appreciation can be evidenced in ways that go beyond the large crowds that the band attracts. For example, I noticed that people tend to dress better when they come to hear this band.
Pretty women wear nicer clothes and even sport casually detached attitudes.
Tommy brings out the very best in his audiences and his fans openly enjoy that special feeling. Some candid advice to anyone finding it difficult to have fun with a Tommy Castro crowd might be to check your pulse. Tommy grew up in the San Jose area and in doing so also enjoyed the San Francisco music scene. The booming high tech industry of the Silicon Valley has spawned many changes in the rapidly growing south bay urban metropolis. There has been a dramatic flourishing of the arts as a result of increased opportunities.
