ANTHONY GOMES AND THE NEW SOUL COWBOYS

Rock ‘n’ Roll for your Cowboy Soul

Saddle up with Anthony Gomes and the New Soul Cowboys, as the award
winning, acclaimed tough-rockin' soulful singer-guitarist and his rough ’n’
tumble Nashville-based outfit, are ready to take on the world.

Drawing on the musical core that links blues, rock, soul and country, he’s
joined by the New Soul Cowboys, featuring bassist David Karns, and drummer
Peter.

“First and foremost, 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's 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
“Music Mafia“.

“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; we are the four horsemen, the four aces.”

The band’s spending this summer in the studio honing the tracks for its
self-titled debut and will also be releasing a DVD in the fall.

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 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 share a beer and a shot bellying up to the bar.

“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.”
