Featured Interview – Tab Benoit

Many musicians are also artists, so it is likely not surprising to learn that Benoit is an excellent painter. He reported that he began painting in high school, and while his art teacher recognized and encouraged his talent, she had difficulty with his rebellious attitude toward assignments.

“Our teacher was more of a sculptor than a painter. I wanted to paint, but she wanted to keep us working in clay, so I would never really do the assignments exactly like she asked. She loved my work and encouraged me to keep approaching art in the manner in which I was doing it, but she said, ‘I can’t give you an A because that would be like telling the class they can do whatever they want’. Even though I didn’t get the A, that was some of the first encouragement I had to be an artist, and to do what I really feel.”

As a young teenager, Benoit also worked as a diesel mechanic at his father’s shop. This is a skill that later came in handy during those times when he had to fix his tour bus on the road.

“I used to work on my own bus until I got a driver that is a good mechanic. Now I try to keep my fingers out of that compartment if possible. But when I met Albert Collins, he didn’t know I played guitar, he only knew me from when I helped him fix his bus. He was playing at Tipitinas and I had arrived there early and saw some feet sticking out of the engine compartment of his bus, so I asked ‘do you need some help?’ He said ‘Yeah—hand me that wrench.’ I didn’t know it was Albert Collins working on his own bus. So, then he later recognized me when he saw me again, but he didn’t know my name, so he just called me ‘bus man.’ I stayed the “bus man” to him because I would see how all of these guitar players would show up with their guitars on their back and he would let them play, but he would do one note and just knock them dead. After he let them play, he would come back to me and talk to me. So, I said to myself ‘I don’t want to be that dude’, and I never told him I played guitar. His widow later told me that she wished I had let him know that I play because she thought he would have liked the way I play his songs.”

After a very short time as a kicker for the football team at Louisiana State University, Benoit decided not to finish his degree or continue with football, despite being close to earning a scholarship. He had learned to fly at a very early age and decided to devote his efforts to becoming an instructor at a flight school in New Orleans.

“I stopped playing music for a year and really tried to apply myself to becoming a pilot one hundred percent. But I was the new instructor, so they always gave me the problem students—the ones no other instructors wanted because they couldn’t speak English or just couldn’t fly. This one guy, Mario, was from Greece, couldn’t speak English, and he was really scared of flying. I think he was only taking lessons because his two older brothers were taking lessons. I tried to teach him for a year, but on the last day of flying with Mario, I made up my mind. I thought ‘I’m going to land this plane and let my boss know that this is it.’ That’s how bad it was. It was not an easy decision to quit because I didn’t have a following or a band at that time, but I told my boss ‘I’m turning in my Epaulettes and I’m going to play music for a living.’ My boss just laughed at me because he had no idea I played music at all, and thought I was saying that I was going to go out and buy a guitar and try to learn how to play. So, he told me to just take a week off and chill, and it would be alright. But I quit that day. And, after I got established, my former boss has occasionally shown up at my shows, and he sometimes jokes that I can have my old job back if I want it.”

“For a lot of Cajun food, the timing is important. It might take three or four hours to make and the time where you move from one phase of cooking to the next is important for the outcome of the dish. In a way cooking is like music. You always think the next time will be the best gumbo you’ve ever made because you learn from every other time, just like you always think you can play a song a little bit better than you have before. For both cooking and music, you’ve got to be really passionate about it to be good.”

In 2019, Benoit co-authored a book about the blues and mental health, aimed to help decrease the stigma of mental illness and also to raise money for the HART Fund, a non-profit that helps pay for medical/mental health expenses blues musicians cannot afford to pay. His interest in this was related to his awareness of how music can be therapeutic to people during difficult times. (Full disclosure – Interviewer Anita Schlank was the co-author of this book!)

“It’s often a song that brings you back from a rough time, when nobody else can say the right thing. When I realized that sometimes I have the ability to help people through something in their life with a song, I knew that this was what I really needed to be doing. I guess my part of that book is really about that—helping people. Even if it is just one person, it is worth it.”

Benoit’s non-profit organization, The Voice of the Wetlands , aims to bring awareness to the erosion problems in the Bayou region. He has been devoted to this cause for almost twenty years, but progress is slow, and he noted that when a group is working with the Federal Government Corp of Engineers, it can take decades before you know if you have made any progress. While the erosion has not stopped, more people are talking about the problems that exist, and new projects have begun to address it.

Benoit is also an inventor, and once used his welding skills to invent an apparatus to attach garbage cans to the outside of a car to bring them to the end of a long driveway.

“I guess necessity is the mother of invention when you live that far off the road. My neighbor saw me using it and said I should patent it, and I am listed as the inventor with the patent office. But I’m not going to manufacture them, so I didn’t proceed any further with a patent.”

While at home during the pandemic, Benoit also improved his skills as a carpenter, electrician and plumber. He did not think it was unusual for a musician to be skilled in so many areas and explained that those who live in the Bayou appear equally skilled in diverse areas.

“If you have a wood house in southern Louisiana you will have rot, so I was fixing everything I had neglected for decades while touring. People down where I live are very resourceful. Just like it seems that everybody there can play music, it seems like they will always figure out ways of doing things. We have hurricanes and the people who live there need to get resourceful when they are getting knocked down over and over again. A lot of musicians I know had built their own houses or their fishing camps and are also welders and electricians.”

While known primarily as a guitarist, Benoit’s first instrument was the drums, and once he sings a song fans often have little tolerance for hearing others attempt the same song. When asked how his voice seems to improve with age, while other singers tend to lose power and range, Benoit stated that he thinks it is because he is still learning.

The project that has taken up most of Benoit’s time in recent years is his record label, Whiskey Bayou Records , which is co-owned by his manager, Rueben Williams. Benoit frequently contributes to the album with songwriting, and by playing drums, rhythm guitar and offering background vocals. Benoit’s longtime bass player, Corey Duplechin also plays on most of the albums. Whiskey Bayou Records has released albums by Eric Johanson, Eric McFadden, JP Soars, Damon Fowler, Alastair Greene and most recently Big Chief Monk Boudreaux. To some, it might seem like an odd time to start a record label, since the availability of Internet music streaming services has dramatically decreased album sales, and songwriters and independent music labels are making a fraction of what they made in the past.

‘Well, the label wasn’t really about making money, it’s about taking money out of the picture. It’s about making records when there is not a time crunch because it’s costing money to rent a studio, or because you have a record label executive following a deadline. To me, when you are making art, you should never be thinking about the money. It puts unnecessary pressure on the artist to come up with magic. It should be about doing what you feel and taking however long it takes to capture that. The funny thing is when we do that, it actually ends up being faster.”

Benoit has often been heard expressing his dislike for the recent trends in the music business to correct the sound of bands through the use of autotuning. He insists that the bands playing on the Whiskey Bayou Label record live, so the album is more authentic and sounds the way the band would sound at a concert.

“It’s the hardest thing to listen to yourself. It’s like looking in the mirror and you can get really hard on yourself and talk yourself out of releasing those tracks. I had to learn how to listen to myself more objectively once I started producing my own records, and usually the first time you play is the best. Maybe it wasn’t exactly as you would want to play it, but it was honest. We play as we feel it and let the honest take be the one that goes on the record. It’s a conversation with the audience, so let it be that. The industry doesn’t always want to hear that. They want to put out some polished, finished piece to make people want to buy it. But I think the music we put out can be listened to by the average music fan and they can tell it is honest music for honest real people. They can tell the artist really means what they were saying and felt what they were playing.”

Benoit also has a different approach than most when it comes to songwriting. While many songwriters talk about how they are constantly writing, jotting down ideas for songs every day, Benoit believes in bringing just the skeleton or simply an idea for a song to the recording session, and finishing it there. He has co-written several songs for the artists who have recorded on his label.

“I tell them not to write everything out. They should record it as they experiment with their feelings and let it happen. If you write out the songs ahead of time you might overthink things. It’s important not to let your head get in the way of your art. Sometimes, the way we write, we will be thinking about how to finish writing a song, but then we move on to something else. A lot of time is spent just talking and hanging out and telling stories, and then something for the song gets sparked off from that. It happens naturally. It always seems as if the best songs on the album are the ones that were written right there. For example, Alastair was messing around with a few chords and the word ‘heroes’ popped in my head because the sounds created a visual, and that was what I was hearing. So, boom—here comes the whole song. That’s what happens when it is organic and natural. There was no overthinking, and the songs end up being better because of that.”

All the earlier artists on the Whiskey Bayou label are guitarists, but the most recent release seems like a departure from the norm. The album features singer Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and only half of the songs on the album are blues, with the other half being reggae songs. Boudreaux recorded the reggae songs during a trip to Jamaica, accompanied by Damon Fowler, who plays on several tracks. In addition, on this album Benoit not only contributed guitar work, but also played the organ. Benoit described how he felt compelled to record Boudreaux and noted that he believes Louisiana and Jamaica have influenced each other, leading to a natural connection between the two.

“Monk is a legend of Louisiana music and is the oldest living Mardis Gras Indian Chief. He’s also been a part of the Voice of the Wetlands from the beginning. His style of songwriting matched well with my style, because he will tell people to start playing and then he starts making up the lyrics on the spot. He doesn’t even write the lyrics down in a notebook. It’s easy working with him, but we had to find a way to put that story together in an album and make it cohesive—to make it sound like it was part of the same album even though it was recorded in two different recording studios. Also, while I’m not really great on the keyboards, I believe the organ is very rhythmic, almost like a percussion instrument. So, since I had a B-3 sitting in my studio, I just used it like that.”

The result is a very unique and powerful album, as Damon Fowler and Johnny Sansone, who both contributed to the recording, will attest. Sansone noted, “Just being in the presence of a man with such a deep heart and soul is very moving. But watching and working with Big Chief Monk Boudreaux in the recording studio was a calming conviction of just how passionate he is about his past and future in creating his music.” Fowler simply stated, “Going to Jamaica and being a part of Monk’s recording is something I will always hold close to my heart—a week I will never forget.”

While all the Whiskey Bayou Records appear to be quite well-received, fans lament that Benoit has not released an album featuring himself in many years. They constantly remind him of their hope to be able to purchase a new Tab Benoit album soon. But given his wide-ranging interests, it is difficult to tell what type of unique project might demand his attention next, and Benoit certainly has not been idle during the years since the release of Medicine. He has supported and helped develop the careers of several younger emerging artists and was also one of the first bands to get back on the road touring as the pandemic started to fade. Unlike other musicians, he did not participate in live streaming from his home during that time.

“We really need people in the room. We need people to join in with us and feel the vibe—all of us feeling it together. You don’t get that when you are playing to a dot on a computer screen, and you get these little clapping hand emojis as a response. I can’t feel anything from that. When I hear the audience clapping, I feel it, and it is music to my ears.”

Fantastic show! I have seen Tab twice before at the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas but he seemed to have a little extra in his performance tonight. Tab seemed to really enjoy playing in a cave and he was genuinely surprised when he saw how many hands were raised of those in the audience who were seeing him for the first time. It was well more than half the sold-out crowd. JP Soars was a very good opening act for Tab. Sure hope Tab gets booked again at Cumberland Caverns.

One more amazing Tab Benoit Show to add to the other Tab Benoit Shows we've seen, and walked away from with another remarkable Memory of his incredible Talent as a Guitar Shreddin, Singer, Song writer, Producer, Musician, with a Bad $#@ Bass Player, and Rock Solid Drummer, that winds up the Three hour show, after watching Tab play Drums for 1 1/2 hours backing up Eric Johanson Screamin Guitar Licks, with Corey Stompin the Bass Guitar for the Three Hour Show !!!!

Newberry Opera House welcomes Tab Benoît 2024 Night Train Tour

Courtesy of Doug Deutsch

NEWBERRY — Acclaimed Louisiana Bayou blues guitarist Tab Benoit brings his year-long 2024 Night Train Tour to Newberry Opera House , 1201 Kibben St., Thursday, April 18. Show: 8 p.m. Tickets: $50.00 and up. Info: (803) 276-6264 or visit www.newberryoperahouse.com . Also performing: Anthony Rosano & The Conqueroos, who released their most recent album “Cheat The Devil” on Benoit’s Whiskey Bayou Records label.

One of the most impressive guitarists to emerge from the rich Bayous of Southern Louisiana in recent years, Tab Benoit’s guitar tone can be recognized before his Otis-Redding-ish voice resonates from the speakers. He doesn’t rely on any effects and his set up is simple. It consists of a guitar, cord and Category 5 Amplifier. The effects that you hear come from his fingers.

Born on November 17, 1967, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Benoit grew up in the nearby oil and fishing town of Houma, where he still resides today. Musically, he was exposed early on to traditional Cajun waltzes and the country music broadcast on his hometown’s only radio station. Benoit’s father was himself a musician; as such, the family home was filled with various instruments. He began playing drums but switched to guitar because the only gigs to be had in rural Louisiana were held in churches and at church fairs and organizers would not allow loud drums to be played at these events.

In the late 80’s Tab Benoit began hanging out at the Blues Box, a music club and cultural center in Baton Rouge run by guitarist Tabby Thomas. Playing guitar alongside Thomas, Raful Neal, Henry Gray and other high-profile regulars at the club, Benoit learned the blues first-hand from these living blues legends. He formed a trio in 1987 and began playing clubs in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

In 1992 Benoit released his first recording Nice and Warm on the Justice Label. The title track became a AAA Radio hit and Benoit’s touring career kicked into high gear. Nice and Warm prompted comparisons to blues guitar heavyweights like Albert King, Albert Collins and even Jimi Hendrix. Tab began playing two-hundred and fifty shows a year, a schedule he has kept up for over twenty years. He recorded four albums for Justice Records before being signed to the Vanguard label and became Louisiana’s Number One Blues export. Vanguard allowed Tab to produce his own recordings; Tab wanted to record the sound that he was trying to create and in 1999 Vanguard Records released These Blues Are All Mine .

Tab Benoit’s music evolved again after he signed with the Telarc International/Concord Music Group in 2002. He began to strip it down to a three-piece group, where he found more freedom as a guitarist. He was also on a mission in wanting to use his music and his energy to bring attention to Louisiana’s coastal erosion issues. Tab began to spend more time in the Wetlands and it was where he began to write his songs. Wetlands was the title of his first Telac/Concord International release. The record combined many musical styles that are indigenous to Louisiana, while he began to play accordion lines and washboard on guitar. Wetlands was a mile marker that definitively marked Tab’s further musical progression into his own original sound and style.

Following the release of Wetlands in 2004 Benoit founded the Voice of the Wetlands non-profit organization ( www.voiceofthewetlands.org ) and began to use music and gather other musicians to use their platforms for getting the message out. He put together an all-star band that featured Cyril Neville anders Osborne, George Porter Jr, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Johnny Vidacovich, Johnny Sansone and Waylon Thibodeaux that became The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars. The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars have released two CDs and occasionally tour throughout the country. Even from the earliest of the Justice Records days Benoit was always reaching to create a sound that was all his own. In 2011 this all came to fruition with the release of Benoit’s CD “Medicine” which received a long list of awards voting Tab the “BB King Entertainer of the Year” at the 2012 Blue Music Awards in Memphis. Medicine was followed by Concord’s Tab Benoit’s Legacy release, a sort of “Best Of” of Tab’s music.

Benoit and his manager Rueben Williams launched his own imprint, Whiskey Bayou Records. The label has thus far released albums by such established artists as Eric McFadden, Damon Fowler, Eric Johanson, Anthony Rosano and the Conqueroos, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and Dash Rip Rock. The label’s primary goal is to give voice to some artists that they feel should be recognized. In 2024 you can bet Tab Benoit will be cutting through the noise and packing houses across the US. For the last thirty-three years this American troubadour has been carving out his own path through music history.

For the last 33 years this American troubadour has been carving out his own path through music history. Anders Osborne: Between the potency of his richly detailed songwriting, his intensely emotional, soulful vocals and his piercing, expert guitar work, New Orleans’ Anders Osborne is a true musical treasure. He is among the most original and visionary musicians writing and performing today. Guitar Player calls him “the poet laureate of Louisiana’s fertile roots music scene.” New Orleans' Gambit Weekly has honored Osborne as the Entertainer Of The Year. OffBeat named him the Crescent City’s Best Guitarist for the third year in a row, and the Best Songwriter for the second straight year. Osborne also won Song Of The Year for his composition, Louisiana Gold.

Osborne’s latest released Flower Box, his second full-length album of 2016, recorded in his hometown of New Orleans late last year, Flowerbox is a heavier, guitar-driven follow-up to the acclaimed Spacedust & Ocean Views.

"I love the way this record comes out stout and determined right out the gate, a four-piece rock & roll band making beautiful and conquering noise," says Osborne.   "The producer, Mark Howard, has a way of making you play in the moment and being confident.  His sounds and engineering style is that of classic records, with his own special sauce of 'haunting' on top of it.  The musicians on here are undoubtedly some of my absolute favorites in the world, both as players and as people. Their contributions are invaluable.  Scott Metzger, Brady Blade, Carl Dufrene, Chad Cromwell, Marc Broussard, David LaBruyere, Rob McNelley & Justin Tocket. Bad boys!  I've been wanting to make this record for several years and I am stoked it's finally here." 

A powerful live performer, the musician has won over fans through non-stop touring as well as a heralded collaboration with the North Mississippi Allstars & Southern Soul Assembly.

Jambands.com said, "Osborne finds a striking balance of muscle and grace that allows for the smaller moments of quiet to be just as resounding as the sonic booms."  And USA Today has praised his music, saying "The relentless approach amplifies the anguished lyrics, which appear to be about the death of a loved one or a relationship torn asunder or perhaps a spiritual crisis."  In a review of Spacedust & Ocean Views, Boulder Weekly said the album "finds the guitarist in a (largely) reflective mood, an extended meditation on place and moments in time, memory, passages through and exits from paragraphs in the non-fiction docudrama of life.  Through languid, gently formed figures, Osborne coaxes odes of gratitude and compelling imagery in what seems a little like a travelogue — like watching his kid chasing seabirds on the beach..."

Osborne has earned hordes of new fans. He has toured virtually non-stop, either with his own band, as a solo artist, or as a guest with his countless musical admirers, including Toots and The Maytals, Stanton Moore, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Keb Mo, The Grateful Dead’s Phil Lesh, Jackie Greene and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe. He’s produced and played on critically acclaimed albums by Tab Benoit, Johnny Sansone and Mike Zito.

Since his recording debut in 1989, Osborne has written virtually all of his own material and contributed memorable songs to a wide variety of artists. Two tunes co-written by Osborne appear on Keb Mo’s Grammy-winning 1999 release Slow Down. Country superstar Tim McGraw scored a #1 hit with Anders’ song Watch The Wind Blow By. Osborne’s compositions have been covered by artists as diverse as Brad Paisley, Tab Benoit, Jonny Lang, Edwin McCain, Sam Bush, Trombone Shorty and Aaron Neville and Kim Carnes. His songs have appeared in multiple feature films. He can also be seen performing in an episode of HBO’s New Orleans-based drama, Treme.

Tab Benoit, celebrated for his significant contribution to the blues genre, hails from the lush Bayous of Southern Louisiana. Known for his unique guitar tone and soulful vocals reminiscent of Otis Redding, Benoit's music setup is remarkably straightforward, comprising just a guitar, cord, and Category 5 Amplifier.

His first recording, "Nice and Warm," was released in 1992, marking the start of a prolific touring and recording career that spans over two decades. With a discography that includes albums under Justice Records, Vanguard, and more recently, Telarc International/Concord Music Group, Benoit has solidified his status as Louisiana's premier blues export.

In addition to his musical achievements, Benoit founded the Voice of the Wetlands non-profit organization, leveraging his platform to advocate for Louisiana's coastal erosion issues. His 2004 release, "Wetlands," and subsequent albums further showcase his evolution as an artist, blending various musical styles indigenous to Louisiana.

In 2011, Benoit's album "Medicine" earned him the title of "BB King Entertainer of the Year" at the 2012 Blue Music Awards in Memphis. Following this, Benoit, along with his manager Rueben Williams, launched Whiskey Bayou Records, spotlighting deserving artists within the blues genre.

Progressive jam giants Umphrey's McGee‘s return to Las Vegas for the seventh installment of the massively popular UMBowl production was marked once again by a stand-out tour closing dual evening extravaganza where all stops were pulled out and the power given directly to the fans, for better or for worse.

On June 24, Round Records & ATO Records will release GarciaLive Volume Six: July 5, 1973 – Jerry Garcia & Merl Saunders, the latest installment of the celebrated GarciaLive archival series. The three-CD set was recorded at the 200 capacity Lion’s Share club formerly located in the small town of San Anselmo, CA, just 20 miles north of San Francisco. The performance features Jerry Garcia performing with friend, mentor and legendary keyboardist/vocalist Merl Saunders. The duo is joined by drummer Bill Vitt and bassist John Kahn, who soon became a lifelong Garcia collaborator.

Tab Benoit Embarks On 2024 Night Train Tour

Performs Locally: THE LYRIC THEATRE/Tue April 9

Tab Benoit Live! – Reviews

“The final song of the night was “Night Train” from 2005’s Fever on the Bayou which Benoit jammed on for over ten minutes with explosive guitar licks. It was a bring down the house conclusion.” BLUES ROCK REVUE

“Tab Benoit has been a frequent Lincoln visitor over the three-plus decades that he’s been bringing his brand of blues out of Louisiana. Known for his distinctive guitar tone and fiery playing, he’s a powerhouse vocalist who sounds something like Otis Redding.”

LINCOLN JOURNAL-STAR

“On April 12th, 2023, blues fans filled the Intimate Tennessee venue of Hop Springs to experience the legendary Tab Benoit’s live performance…As soon as Benoit took the stage, the audience erupted in applause, ready to be taken on a soulful journey through the sounds of the Delta Blues.”

MY GLOBAL MIND

“Based on how early the capacity crowd filled The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano on a Thursday night, the world still loves a great guitar hero. The good news for concertgoers who came to the legendary venue last night was they got to see two guitar masters (Tab Benoit and JD Simo) on the same bill.”

ROCK ‘N’ ROLL TRUTH

“Benoit took the stage, and within ten minutes the rain slowed to a drizzle, then stopped completely. Blues From The Top 1, Mother Nature 0…From his set opening “Why Are People Like That” to his encore “Medicine”, Benoit had the delighted crowd swinging, singing, and swaying. Benoit’s set was the perfect culmination of three fabulous days of extraordinary music at an extraordinary venue in an idyllic location”.

DENVER ENTERTAINMENT HUB

“Louisiana blues great Tab Benoit hit The Warehouse and was welcomed with open arms by his adoring fans, and he didn’t disappoint!,” . “His ‘swamp blues’ was right at home on this very sticky and hazy evening, done right by a legend in the making.”

POWERPLAY ROCK & METAL MAGAZINE

One of the most impressive guitarists to emerge from the rich Bayous of Southern Louisiana in recent years, Tab Benoit’s guitar tone can be recognized before his Otis-Redding-ish voice resonates from the speakers. He doesn’t rely on any effects and his set up is simple. It consists of a guitar, cord, and Category 5 Amplifier. The effects that you hear come from his fingers.

Born on November 17, 1967, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Benoit grew up in the nearby oil and fishing town of Houma, where he still resides today. Musically, he was exposed early on to traditional Cajun waltzes and the country music broadcast on his hometown’s only radio station. Benoit’s father was himself a musician; as such, the family home was filled with various instruments. He began playing drums but switched to guitar because the only gigs to be had in rural Louisiana were held in churches and at church fairs, and organizers would not allow loud drums to be played at these events.

In the late 80’s Tab Benoit began hanging out at the Blues Box, a music club and cultural center in Baton Rouge run by guitarist Tabby Thomas. Playing guitar alongside Thomas, Raful Neal, Henry Gray and other high-profile regulars at the club, Benoit learned the blues first-hand from these living blues legends. He formed a trio in 1987 and began playing clubs in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

In 1992 Benoit released his first recording Nice and Warm on the Justice Label. The title track became a AAA Radio hit and Benoit’s touring career kicked into high gear. Nice and Warm prompted comparisons to blues guitar heavyweights like Albert King, Albert Collins and even Jimi Hendrix. Tab began playing two-hundred and fifty shows a year, a schedule he has kept up for over twenty years. He recorded four albums for Justice Records before being signed to the Vanguard label, and became Louisiana’s Number One Blues export. Vanguard allowed Tab to produce his own recordings; Tab wanted to record the sound that he was trying to create and in 1999 Vanguard Records released These Blues Are All Mine.

Tab Benoit’s music evolved again after he signed with the Telarc International/Concord Music Group in 2002. He began to strip it down to a three-piece group, where he found more freedom as a guitarist. He was also on a mission in wanting to use his music and his energy to bring attention to Louisiana’s coastal erosion issues. Tab began to spend more time in the Wetlands and it was where he began to write his songs. Wetlands was the title of his first Telac/Concord International release. The record combined many musical styles that are indigenous to Louisiana, while he began to play accordion lines and washboard on guitar. Wetlands was a mile marker that definitively marked Tab’s further musical progression into his own original sound and style.

Following the release of Wetlands in 2004 Benoit founded the Voice of the Wetlands non-profit organization (www.voiceofthewetlands.org) and began to use music and gather other musicians to use their platforms for getting the message out. He put together an all-star band that featured Cyril Neville, Anders Osborne, George Porter Jr, Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Johnny Vidacovich, Johnny Sansone, and Waylon Thibodeaux that became The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars. The Voice of the Wetlands All-Stars have released two CDs and occasionally tour throughout the country. Even from the earliest of the Justice Records days Benoit was always reaching to create a sound that was all his own. In 2011 this all came to fruition with the release of Benoit’s CD “Medicine” which received a long list of awards voting Tab the “BB King Entertainer of the Year” at the 2012 Blue Music Awards in Memphis. Medicine was followed by Concord’s Tab Benoit’s Legacy release, a sort of “Best Of” of Tab’s music.

Swampland Jam

Tab Benoit’s Swampland Jam  – Tab Benoit, one of music’s most enduring and masterful blues and roots performers –  and an authority on Louisiana music and culture – leads an all star band featuring three giants of Louisiana Roots Music –  Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Johnny Sansone, and Waylon Thibodeaux.

Big Chief Monk Boudreaux  (HBO’s Treme) incorporates African Rhythms and Mardi Gras Chants into his own original style of Rhythm and Blues. Boudreaux is the Big Chief of the Golden Eagles, a legendary  Mardi Gras Indian  tribe. He is widely known for his long-time collaboration with Big Chief  Bo Dollis  in  The Wild Magnolias . In 2016, Boudreaux received a  National Endowment for the Arts   National Heritage Fellowship  in Washington, DC.

Johnny Sansone  goes deep into Bayou Blues and Zydeco with his roof shaking vocals, harmonica and accordion.  Sansone  has won numerous awards in the Crescent City, including multiple categories for Offbeat magazine’s annual “Best of the Beat” competition.

Rounding out the Jam is  Waylon Thibodeaux  on vocals and fiddle.  Born in Louisiana’s ‘Bayou Country’ just a few miles southwest of New Orleans, Houma native Waylon Thibodeaux has been dubbed “Louisiana’s Rockin Fiddler”. His rollicking, Cajun and zydeco rhythms never fail to serve up a good helping of spicy, high-energy Louisiana fun.

Ticket prices for the Trans-Siberian Railway also depend on the current ruble exchange rate.

Is the Trans-Siberian Railway expensive?

Before starting on your Trans-Siberian Railway adventure you naturally want to know what the entire trip will cost. Although this sounds like a simple question, it is pretty difficult to answer. The Trans-Siberian Railway price of travel depends on the following factors:

• Which travel class do I want to use? The price for a first class ticket is about three times the price of a 3rd class ticket
• Am I willing to buy the tickets myself and assume responsibility for the organisation of the trip?
• How many stopovers do I want to make? The more breaks, the higher the total price.
• What sort of accommodation do I want? Will it be a luxury hotel or will a hostel dormitory be sufficient?
• What tours and excursions would I like to go on?
• What is the current exchange rate for rubles?

Basically, everything from a luxury to a budget holiday is available. If you buy yourself a 3rd Class nonstop ticket at the counter, a few hundred Euros will cover the price. All you will experience is a week on the Trans-Siberian train and will see nothing of the cities on the way. There is, however, any amount of room for upward expansion. Everyone makes different choices about which aspects they are willing to spend money on. I personally prefer to save money on accommodation and railcar class, visit as many cities and do as many trips as possible. To enable better classification of your travel expenses I have contrasted two typical traveler types. In the third column you can calculate the total cost of your own journey on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that these are only rough estimations and not exact prices.

The all-in costs seem fairly high at first. However, they cover everything and it is quite a long journey taking four weeks. Many people forget to consider that when looking at the list. We should also deduct the running costs for food and leisure at home. I think most visitors to this page will classify themselves somewhere between the two categories, that is around the € 2,000 – € 2,500 range. When comparing these prices with other travel packages, you get the impression that it is hardly worthwhile travelling individually on the Trans-Siberian Railway. Please keep in mind that most packages last no more than 14 days and you are herded like cattle through the most beautiful locations.

If you spend less time on the Trans-Siberian Railway you will, of course, pay less. I chose this particular travel length because I prefer not to do things by halves. If you fulfill your dream of travelling on the Trans-Siberian Railway, enjoy it and don’t rush things. But it’s up to you, of course. Try playing around with the form a bit to find the appropriate price for your trip.

Unfortunately this will be our last evening in Moscow, (26 May), though the performance on the 27th may have been better for us.

Thanks for your help.

It sounds like a gala concert - meaning there would be snippets from different ballets performed instead of one,
