Timeline

Al Gomes is an American record producer and songwriter from Providence, Rhode Island, United States.

Gomes has been in the music business for over 45 years, is the co-founder of Big Noise, was part of the team that launched the career of Christina Aguilera, and ran the successful publicity campaign that won The Beach Boys their first Grammy Award.

1973

After winning first place in an art contest in May 1973 at the age of 13 (juried by Rhode Island School of Design faculty), Gomes set his sights on a career in arts and entertainment.

At this time, Gomes began writing, producing, and selling homemade cassettes of both original songs and comedic skits featuring neighborhood friends including Steven Yuppa.

He attended high school at LaSalle Academy in Providence, Rhode Island, pursuing a Liberal Arts curriculum with studies in illustration, writing, and filmmaking.

Gomes earned a Varsity Letter from LaSalle Academy for his work with the school's Drama Club, as well as serving on the Social Awareness Committee (which organized the school's annual Fast Day and Food Drive at Thanksgiving time).

1977

By 1977, while still a student at LaSalle, he became a DJ at Brown University's student-run radio station WBRU-AM.

He also served as News Director for a Junior Achievement-produced youth-oriented radio show at WPRO-FM (92 PRO-FM) called 'J.A.M.,' and as an on-air student reporter for LaSalle Academy for The Providence Journal-owned WPJB-FM (JB 105).

Gomes earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Graphic Design at Rhode Island College in Providence.

While attending college, he worked for the school paper, The Anchor, first as a columnist, then as Arts and Entertainment Editor.

After the college radio organization, WRIC-FM, recruited him as a DJ, Gomes produced an on-air interview and music show, Backstage Pass, for the station.

Interviews for both the newspaper and the radio show included The Police, The Ramones, Spyro Gyra, The Tubes, Dead Boys, Herman's Hermits, Ellen Foley, The Monkees, and Estelle Parsons.

1983

His ongoing interest in songwriting solidified when Rhode Island College approved and financed a student-produced staging of Gomes and his new songwriting partner Jim Deragon's musical play, Suite Samantha in 1983.

The play's poster was designed by noteworthy artist Spencer Crooks (Who's Who In American Art).

A sequel to the musical, Rich Moves, was later staged at the concert venue The Living Room in Providence, RI.

1986

In 1986, inspired by Sir Bob Geldof's Band Aid and Live Aid projects, Gomes conceived the Bandwagon project with publicist Jamie Kurtis, and co-wrote and executive produced the three-song benefit recording, "Three Sides of Hunger" featuring "Surrender to Serenity" performed by co-writer Jim Beaupre, "Where Homes Is" performed by co-writers Mark Cutler and John Cafferty, and "A Piece of Our Hearts" (co-written with Mark Bram and Jamie Kurtis), performed by a 150-person celebrity chorus consisting of musicians, journalists (including MTV Networks executive producer Bill Flanagan), TV broadcasters, politicians, and the heads of human service agencies.

Soloists on "A Piece of Our Hearts" included Cheryl Wheeler, and Belly and L7’s Gail Greenwood.

All three songs received widespread radio airplay including "A Piece of Our Hearts", which was played simultaneously on dozens of radio stations on December 10, 1986 at 10:15 am EST.

Gomes also produced two sold-out televised Bandwagon benefit concerts.

Bandwagon's goal was to elevate awareness of the plight of the poor in America and raise monies for American agencies that aid the hungry and homeless.

For his efforts, Gomes went on to win The Jefferson Award from the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Foundation for Outstanding Public Service, joining past recipients Oprah Winfrey and Bob Hope.

1988

Gomes has composed songs with many award-winning and renowned songwriters including four-time Emmy Award Winner Sean Callery ("24," "Medium", "La Femme Nikita"), John Cafferty ("Eddie and the Cruisers"), Jimmie Crane (Elvis Presley, Doris Day), Mike Viola ("That Thing You Do", "Walk Hard"), David Minehan (Paul Westerberg, The Neighborhoods), and Chris Dominici (National Geographic Network, Fox Sports), among others.
