Castiglia combines hardcore blues with soul, rock and country flavors for a sound that appeals to rockers and blues purists alike; his vocal style has been compared to Van Morrison.

Since then, he’s played with a who’s who of blues greats in his career, including Pinetop Perkins, Ronnie Earl, John Primer and Otis Clay. This concert is timed with the Twin Cities release of his new album, 'Masterpiece.'
