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 returned with his 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, released on Rat Pak Records.2022’s High Voltage Blues vaulted to #1 on the iTunes Top Blues Albums Chart, #1 on Amazon Music’s New Release Blues Chart and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Blues chart. It remained on the Billboard Blues chart for 58 consecutive weeks, landing on ‘Billboard’s Top 15 Blues Albums of the Year’ for both 2023 and 2024.
Meanwhile, Total Guitar listed Gomes as ‘One of the 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time’ in 2024. Guitar World readers voted him one of ‘The 30 Best Blues Guitarists in the World Today’ in 2019, and the publication noted, “Gomes is another power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock.”
Anthony’s latest release, 2025’s Praise the Loud, delivers 12 fresh studio tracks that showcase Anthony’s musical evolution while staying true to the no-holds-barred sound that has earned him a global fanbase.
From the powerful rhythms of the album opener Praise the Loud to the ZZ Top-inspired groove of Netflix & Chill, Anthony tackles a range of emotions and topics with his signature blend of layered harmonies, infectious rhythms, and blues-infused grooves. Tracks like Meet My Maker, Black Diamond Heavy, and Electric Blues Crusade highlight his ability to stretch his creative boundaries and expand his lyrical scope, while songs like Love Song Gone Wrong and In the Name of the Blues showcase his unmistakable blues guitar mastery. Produced by Peter Carson/Anthony Gomes and mixed by Chris Collier, Praise the Loud packs the punch and energy fans have come to expect from this world-class blues artist.
In the end, Anthony Gomes is just the kind of guitar hero we need for today.
