CarFi helps sponsor the Greater Ozarks Blues Festival 2007!
One of the most popular music events of the year, The Greater Ozarks Blues Festival, was held September 7th and 8th. Due to rain, instead of the venue being at Jordan Valley Park Field, it was move inside to the Shrine Mosque. Thousands turned out for the festival and enjoyed 2 great days of blues music. Car-Fi's did their part to preserve one of truest styles of music to come from the good ol' USA by presenting the "GOBF AFTER PARTY”. After the last band ended Staurday, the After-Party continued on. The host band was the Lara Price Band (from earlier in the day). Anthony Gomes showed up for the Party too with his blistering style of blues to add to the mix. The performers also included area musicians like Dave Painter , the Hiser Brothers, Steve Smith and more. It was a awesome party and well worth sticking around for. Thanks to all the musicians and concert staff that help make it a big success!

Drawing from Soul, Rock, and R&B, then blending it all together with blues, It is rare when an artist can tap into several styles of music and create a sound that is uniquely his own.
A tireless performer, his live shows often leave his audiences in foot-stomped, hand-clapped, danced-out fits of exhaustion. Gomes struts and growls like a preacher on Sunday, and plays guitar in a manner that makes one wonder if he met the devil at the crossroads.
