‘GP’ Presents Tab Benoit August 20 in San Francisco, CA – Win Tickets!
Get ready for a stormy Sunday! Tab Benoit’s bayou blues whirlwind is headed towards the San Francisco Bay where Guitar Player is happy to help him blow back into his old haunt at the Great American Music Hall.
Easily one of the most energetic electric guitar players ripping up the road, Benoit’s ferocious dedication to each note in every set is always an intense experience. Benoit brings gutsy rhythms, searing leads, gravel vocals, and total command to every stage. He’s earned five Blues Music Awards, including a pair of crowns for B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.
Benoit conjures a hellacious howl via a vintage Telecaster Thinline through signature Cat 5 amplification. He’s also got the savvy to dial it way down every now and again so the audience can hear every nuance of wood and wire. And in-between the whispers and the screams his earthy grooves are low down and dirty.
Watch Benoit dig deep into some “Muddy Bottom Blues” from Greeley, Colorado, June 3, 2023:
Benoit is a premier conduit for bayou culture and he’s bringing the Rumble with him as the opening act. The Rumble is a modern representation of historic Mardi Gras Indian music, featuring Second Chief Joseph Boudreaux Jr. of the Golden Eagles.
Benoit is the driving force powering Voice of the Wetlands aiming to preserve the coastal waters of his homeland. Benoit received the Governor’s Award for Conservationist of the Year from the Louisiana Wildlife Federation in 2010. The charismatic performer also starred in the iMax documentary Hurricane on the Bayou.
Experience Tab Benoit plus the Rumble at the legendary Great American Music Hall this Sunday in San Francisco where GP Presents will have a table with free magazines and Martin strings.
