"Blistering guitar licks and vocals that slice like a hooch-soaked machete" (Toronto Star)

"Gomes pursues his passions with a musical intelligence that places him way ahead of the other hellions igniting the Fender Fretboard." (Downbeat)


Singer-guitarist Anthony Gomes lives by that credo of truth as an artist, constantly challenging himself to expand his explorations of heart and sound. The release of his latest album Music Is The Medicine will be followed by an extensive North American tour. The new collection of songs raises the bar and reaches beyond it, taking all he’s discovered in enduring American sounds and applying that knowledge and experience to create a vibrant, contemporary masterwork of blues-based rock, soul and R&B.

Produced by Jim Gaines (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Santana) every one of the 12 tracks on Music Is The Medicine bristles with that thrill of discovery and exploration, a testimony to the healing power of music to uplift, console, move and motivate the spirit. Most of the songs are Anthony’s collaborations with other gifted writers, including Mark Selby (Dixie Chicks, Kenny Wayne Shepherd), Bruce McCabe (Johnny Lang, Bonnie raitt) and Tom Hambridge (Susan Tedeschi, Johnny Winter) and Jim Peterik (founder of both Ides of March and Survivor and hit writer for .38 Special, Sammy Hagar and many more).
