About Anthony Gomes

Canadian-born guitarist and singer/songwriter Anthony Gomes is a charting modern blues artist whose playing style incorporates elements of riff-laden hard rock, R&B, and country/Americana. His singing voice recalls the young Rod Stewart with the Jeff Beck Group. His 1998 debut, Blues in Technicolor, reflected the influence of Texas blues while 2006's breakout Music Is the Medicine established his global reputation for dazzling six-string acrobatics and a swaggering attitude. 2009's New Soul Cowboys wed electric, hard-rocking blues to soul-tinged Southern rock and 2012's Up 2 Zero showcased a loving, raucous tribute to the Chicago blues tradition. 2015's Electric Field Holler near perfectly wed gritty hard rock riffs to dramatic 21st century blues. 2020's chart-topping, raw, wooly Containment Blues showcased Gomes' love of dirty garage boogie. 2022's High Voltage Blues marked a return to crunchy, metal-tinged, hard-rocking blues.
