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, heโs 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.
โIโve learned how to embrace my voice as a guitarist and as a singer,โ he states. โI understand who I am, and I use my strengths to my advantage. I have a blues soul and a rock โnโ roll heart. I love to jump back and forth between both with a modern day approach. When I play rock, itโs got a little more dust on it.”
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, he fell in love with music as a kid, listening to everyone from Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix to Jeff Beck and Eddie Van Halen. At 14 years old, Anthony gravitated to the guitar and his relationship with the instrument was born. After grinding it out, his chops caught the attention of B.B. Kingโs bus driver at a jam night. Blown away, the driver introduced him to B.B. who invited him to open up a string of tour dates in 2005. Gaining invaluable knowledge from โThe King,โ he went on to share the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Joe Bonamassa, Heart, Sammy Hagar, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and more. Along the way, his concert attendees have included Academyยฎ Award winner Morgan Freeman, John Goodman, and Vince Vaughn as well as Eric Clapton, to name a few.
2022โs High Voltage Blues vaulted to #1 on the iTunes Top Blues Albums Chart, #1 on Amazon Musicโs 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 โThe 30 Best Blues Guitarists in the World Todayโ in 2019, and the publication noted, โGomes is another power player who is at his best when his gear is in the scorched earth between blues and rock.โ
Anthony’s latest release, 2025’s Praise the Loud, delivers 12 fresh studio tracks that showcase Anthonyโs musical evolution while staying true to the no-holds-barred sound that has earned him a global fanbase.
Reflecting on the new album, Anthony shares, โOn Praise the Loud, we pushed our musical boundaries in every direction. We wanted it to rock harder than anything weโve done before, but at the same time, we wanted it to have a deeper, more soulful blues feel. When people ask me what I sound like, I say, โIf B.B. King was in AC/DC, thatโs what it would beโ. Thatโs Praise The Loud in a nutshell.โ
Gomes cites the track ‘Rock & Roll Bluesman’ as the thesis of the album. “My favorite line on the album comes from the song โRock & Roll Bluesmanโ: โI donโt care if they love or hate us, gonna turn it up so they wonโt forget us.โ That lyric captures the spirit of the albumโdeclaring that weโre playing blues rock on our own terms, no matter what.โ
From the powerful rhythms of the album opener โPraise the Loudโ to the ZZ Top-inspired groove of โNetflix & Chill,โ Anthony tackles a range of emotions and topics with his signature blend of layered harmonies, infectious rhythms, and blues-infused grooves. Tracks like โMeet My Maker,โ โBlack Diamond Heavy,โ and โElectric Blues Crusadeโ highlight his ability to stretch his creative boundaries and expand his lyrical scope, while songs like โLove Song Gone Wrongโ and โIn the Name of the Bluesโ 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.
