The Buzz About Anthony Gomes:
“Blistering guitar licks, saloon-ready rock ‘n’ roll of indeterminate
origin and vintage, and vocals that slice like a whiskey-soaked machete.” -
Toronto Star

“Gomes and the New Soul Cowboys deliver what some of the big cojone,
beer-fueled festival acts of the past promised - mitigated, of course, by
actual talent.” - Vintage Guitar

The place was packed, they came from all around, there was a buzz in the
air, the lights went down. Gomes came out - and he was the sh*t. He could
play guitar like there was no tomorrow. When he started to sing, I was
floored..." - Creem Magazine

“A serious mojo mofo” - Salt Lake City Weekly

“Gomes executes twisting whammy bar swoops and feedback dives that revive
the ghosts of the Fillmore. By the end of the night, Gomes has delivered
a PhD dissertation on blues rock guitar.” -Hartford Advocate

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



BIOGRAPHY

ANTHONY GOMES AND THE NEW SOUL COWBOYS

ROCK 'N' ROLL FOR YOUR COWBOY SOUL

Saddle up with the New Soul Cowboys as this rough ’n’ tumble Nashville-based outfit takes on the world. Drawing on the musical core that links rock, soul, country and blues, the trio features the award winning, acclaimed tough-rockin' soulful singer-guitarist Anthony Gomes, bassist David Karns and drummer Peter Lang.

“First and fore most, we are Southern Rock,” Gomes says. “We mine rock, blues, country and gospel in our soul sonic force.” The band’s scorch and riot sound is definitely right in line with the best of Southern Rock of the past and today's rockin' country. In fact, a Soul Cowboy alumnus is none other than that Redneck Woman herself, Gretchen Wilson, right out of the Nashville “MuzikMafia.”

“There’s a place on the sonic landscape where Jimi Hendrix, Hank Williams Jr. and Muddy Waters all meet. That’s where we live,” Gomes says. “It's like the four corners.”

The group’s Southern Rock credentials are unquestionable. They collaborated with Jim Peterik, chief songwriter for .38 Special, and Tom Hambridge, who writes with Skynyrd and Van Zant. Gomes has shared the stage with Gretchen Wilson, Big and Rich, James Otto and blues legends BB King and Buddy Guy. The group also tears it up live and has played shows with Lynyrd Skynyrd, .38 Special, Travis Tritt, the Doobie Brothers, and Cross Canadian Ragweed, among others.

The blazing songs say it all: “Rebel Highway,” “Purple Whiskey Sack,” and that musical mission statement, “New Soul Cowboy.” The crunchy “What It's All About” is a prime slice of catchy-riffing Southern Rock while “Born To Ride” is roadhouse blues, southern fried with a recipe that goes back to classic Allman Brothers.

The wild wild west gets wilder in the stompin’ “Painted Horse,” a motorcycle anthem if ever there was one, with it’s you-can’t-help-but-sing-along “bang bang bang giddy-up bang bang” chorus, plus references to Hendrix and Johnny Cash as Rock and Country history belly up to the bar, sharing a beer and a shot.

“We’re like a Hillbilly Guns N Roses,” Gomes says. “We aren’t afraid to rock, but we have some dust on our cowboy boots.”

No doubt about it, Southern Rock is on the rise again and the New Soul Cowboys are leading that revolution. “Nashville is an exciting place, a breeding ground for musical hybrids,” Gomes says. “The next big thing is definitely going to come out of here. We are a part of this. It‘s high noon and I‘ve got my six string by my side.”
