DOMINIQUE AND THE DIAMONDS
"H***Y TONK QUEEN" - 6/26
Dominique and the Diamonds arrive with a timeless confidence that belies their brief tenure & will release their new album, "H***y Tonk Queen" on June 26th!
A northeast Los Angeles outfit led by Colombian‑American singer ‑songwriter Dominique Gomez, whose voice anchors a California country‑rock sound that feels both cosmic & classic, the album summons the spirit of the long-lost 1970s Sunset Strip & Laurel Canyon era, weaving sun‑baked desert noir with coastal cowgirl romance into a record that’s as reverent as it is revelatory.
Their sound draws openly from classic acts—the Flying Burrito Brothers, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, Townes Van Zandt—yet “H***y Tonk Queen” never feels imitative; it reinterprets those influences through a distinctly contemporary lens, where cosmic textures meet down‑to‑earth storytelling.
The record stitches vintage country storytelling to shimmering, reverb‑kissed pedal steel guitars & harmonies that recall the warmth of golden era West Coast recordings.
Throughout, Gomez’s voice is the album’s lodestar~ possessing power, grit, & an honesty that stops a room.
Representation is central to the project.
Dominique Gomez proudly identifies as a Latina country artist & carries that identity into every performance.
Her visibility & leadership are intentional: to create a space where her community feels seen, safe, & accepted in a genre that’s still evolving.
“I had my hesitations of getting involved in country music for many reasons, but being a daughter of Colombian immigrants was by far the biggest reason why I didn’t think I would fit in. I’m half white & half Colombian but very Latina presenting.”
Dominique and the Diamonds sound nostalgic but they’re also a promise—that classic country can expand its circle, embrace new voices, & still honor the soulful roots that inspired it!
