Artist bio
"Gomes is a power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock. After all, it’s the electric guitar; sometimes tickling it is not enough."
- Guitar World
With a guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes electrifies blues and rock at a 21st century crossroads of his own. The Canadian vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and producer wails with all the force of a hurricane in the Mississippi Delta and enough fret-burning fireworks to leave his strings in flames. Over the years, he’s toppled the Billboard Blues Chart at #1, earned the endorsement of legends such as B.B. King, tallied tens of millions of streams, and packed shows on multiple continents. In April 2025, Anthony Gomes is back with his much-anticipated 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, set for release on Rat Pak Records.

What fans are saying
Now I do a real review. I knew what I was in for, listening to you on social media and YouTube. I was expecting a copy cat version of SRV and Hendrix but what I got was the ENERGY and ELECTRICITY of those artists, but I also got the soulful blues side of you and your own authenticity of a style that reminds us of the former artists, but done in your own style which I have to add may even be better, I think I like your style even more than SRV and Hendrix., You have a mix of music that adds to the appeal, and I love your attitude and charisma on stage. You are just fabulous. I hope these words are heard the way I intend. You absolutely rocked every song, although I am not familiar with them. When I hear a song like "The Whiskey Made Me Do It,' IMMEDIATELY I love the song. That is how it works for some of us . Here's a song; you either hate or love it. I love it. That's how I roll. You have the whole package and a great nondisuputable rock hard strong rhythm section: a drummer that can steal the show with a drum solo and a bassist that plays as if he has been doing this for a hundred years. You are all wonderfully talented artists and DESERVE all the accolades and great reviews. Keep on rocking, keep the blues alive, and yes, you are keeping the blues alive.
