Performing Live at the Gramohone
Tab Benoit w/ Jake Austin and the City Limits
Born and raised on the Louisiana bayou, this self-proclaimed “new kid from the old school” has been the standard bearer for a new generation of Cajun blues musicians – a traditionalist and an innovator at the same time, grafting elements of rock and soul to the indigenous sounds of the bayou.
According to JazzReview.com, “In May, Tab Benoit was named the Blues Male Artist of the Year and B.B. King Entertainer of the Year. As you listen to the Louisiana native’s Power Of The Pontchartrain CD, the reasons why become crystal clear. Two things about this disc immediately catch your ear, one being the tremendous guitar licks, the second the soulful vocals of Benoit.”
And if dedicating his life to his musical roots weren’t enough, Benoit has also been a tireless crusader in recent years – prior to the devastation of hurricane Katrina but even more so since – for the preservation of the rapidly vanishing wetlands of his native region.
Doors at 7:30 p.m., show at 8:30 p.m. Jake Austin & The City Limits will perform at 8:30, and Tab will take the stage at 10 p.m.
$20. The show is 21+.
