Named one of Total Guitar magazine's "100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time" and recognized by Guitar World among the world's best blues guitarists, Gomes has become one of today's most exciting live performers.

In 2026, Gomes is back supporting his #1 blues album, Praise the Loud, with a world tour that includes stops in 17 countries. Expect a powerhouse night featuring blistering guitar solos, soulful vocals, and a high-energy blend of blues, classic rock, and modern rock that has earned him a devoted international following.

His career took off in 2005 when he was invited to open for B.B. King, leading to performances alongside artists including Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Joe Bonamassa, Heart, Sammy Hagar, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.His 2022 album High Voltage Blues reached #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart and remained on the chart for 58 consecutive weeks, earning recognition among Billboard's Top Blues Albums of the Year in both 2023 and 2024. Total Guitar also named Gomes one of the "100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time," while Guitar World recognized him among today's best blues guitarists.

 

With his latest album, Praise the Loud, Gomes continues to push the boundaries of blues and rock. Describing his sound as "if B.B. King was in AC/DC," he delivers an unforgettable combination of soulful vocals, blistering guitar work, and high-energy performances that have earned him fans around the world.

“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."
