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 2026, Gomes is back supporting his #1 blues album, Praise the Loud, with a world tour that includes stops in 17 countries. 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
