Anthony Gomes

“Hendrix on crank guitar phrasing… all the soul of Otis Redding and the swagger of Steven Tyler. Anthony joyfully blends the distinction between blues and rock.” — Blues Rock Review

With his guitar slung over his shoulder and the amps turned up full tilt, Anthony Gomes ignites the stage with a collision of blues soul and rock-and-roll attitude. Born in Toronto and now forging his sound from the heart of St. Louis, he channels influences ranging from Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck, Eddie Van Halen and B.B. King.

“A very talented guitarist… and where did that voice come from?” — B.B. King

“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

Expect a set-list that spans thunderous riffs, searing solos, groove-laden mid-tempo blues and songs that linger in the memory. Whether he’s diving into deep-rooted blues or revving up rock anthems, the night promises high energy, heartfelt musicianship and moments of pure guitar heroism.
