Anthony Gomes, a powerhouse Canadian blues-rock artist, continues to make waves at the intersection of blues and rock with the release of his 14th studio album, Praise the Loud, out April 2025 via Rat Pak Records. Known for his hurricane-force vocals and fret-burning guitar skills, Gomes has topped the Billboard Blues Chart, garnered millions of streams, and built a loyal fan base worldwide. Born in Toronto and influenced by legends like Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix, he picked up the guitar at 14 and quickly made his mark. A pivotal moment in his career came when B.B. King personally invited him to open tour dates in 2005—a mentorship that helped launch Gomes onto stages alongside blues and rock icons like Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, and Joe Bonamassa.
Following the success of his 2022 album High Voltage Blues—which held strong on the Billboard Blues Chart for 58 weeks—Praise the Loud builds on Gomes’s reputation as a dynamic performer and skilled songwriter. His accolades include being named one of Total Guitar’s “100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time” and earning a spot in Guitar World’s “30 Best Blues Guitarists in the World Today.” With 12 brand-new tracks, Praise the Loud captures Gomes’s growth while preserving the high-octane sound that has defined his career and electrified audiences across the globe.
