Quique Gomez on Tour

Harmonicist and singers Quique Gomez was born in Madrid. He started playing harmonica at age 18 and assembled his first band, Juan Bourbon, Juan Scoth & Juan Beer, at the age of 20. He’s traveled the Spanish stages with this band during the following decade, while studying and running a small club. In 2008, he visited Chicago and met some of the Blues’ greatest exponents with whom he started playing on both sides of the Atlantic. Quique has performed on 5 continents, with artists such as John Primer, Eddie C. Campbell, Bob Stroger, Rockin Johnny, Jimmy Burns, Tail Dragger, Kenny Blues and Boss Wayne. Quique often puts the harmonica aside on occasions to show us his most “crooner” side as the BOB SANDS BIG BAND’s singer. With this New York band, he performs classics of swing with arrangements by Count Basie and Thad Jones accompanied by 18 musicians on stage. As a complement to his life on stage, he gives harmonica classes at the “Escuela de Blues de Madrid” (Madrid Blues School) since 2013 and is the director of the Intensive Blues Course in Béjar, Spain, since 2009.
