“Just arrived in Australia and received the sad news of the passing of Bobby Murray. Bobby was a ‘one of a kind’ type of guy. Very soulful, excellent blues artist, played and was close friends with Rocco. He was from my hometown of Detroit, MI and his work with Etta James for years on the road was phenomenal!!! RIP Bobby!!!”⁠ ⁠ Emilio Castillo - Bandleader for Tower of Power ⁠ ⁠ #bobbymurray #emiliocastillo #towerofpower

New concert alert! @towerofpower returns to the Amphitheatre for a summer show - tickets on sale this week! ⁠ ⁠ 🎵: Tower of Power⁠ 🎵: August 21, 2026⁠ 🎵: Doors at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:30 pm ⁠ 🎵: Tickets go on sale this Thursday, April 30! ⁠ ⁠ More details at the link in our bio!⁠ ⁠ For 58 years, Tower of Power has delivered the best in funk and soul music. “We were a Soul band called The Motowns.” recalls Emilio Castillo. “Rocco was the bass player, I was there, and my brother was the drummer. I met “Doc” Kupka back in 1968, and gave him an audition. He came in the band, and we eventually changed our name to the Tower of Power.” ⁠ ⁠ The band has long since surpassed Castillo’s modest aspirations, traveling the world, enjoying hit singles on their own and backing legendary artists including Otis Redding, Elton John, Santana, the Grateful Dead, John Lee Hooker, Aerosmith, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others. In the process they’ve defined an “Oakland soul” sound as instantly recognizable as those from Castillo’s hometown, Detroit, as well as inspirations like Memphis and Philadelphia. ⁠ ⁠ The future of Tower of Power is set out to be vigorous and dynamic, and will prove to be just that for fans around the world starved for the band’s groove just the way Tower of Power likes it!⁠ ⁠ #TowerofPower⁠ #ToP⁠ #ArvadaCenter⁠ #LiveMusic⁠ #ColoradoConcerts⁠ #DenverConcerts
