Award-winning Blues guitarist Tab Benoit, is excited to announce the release of I Hear Thunder, his first studio album in thirteen years and his very first vinyl release... mastered for a hi fi vinyl recording. I Hear Thunder is the long awaited release by Tab Benoit. It will be available on August 30th on Whiskey Bayou Records. Ten solid tracks that showcase Tab’s original guitar style and the great songwriting of the Benoit / Osborne songwriting team. Guitar legend Anders Osborne’s brilliance is showcased on every song of Tab Benoit’s new record, adding a delicate touch that enhances the album’s tone and texture. Anders will join Tab on the 2024 ‘I Hear Thunder Tour’, where the two will perform simultaneously, backing each other up as they forge through their vast musical catalogs. Notably, The Meters bassist George Porter Jr. makes a guest appearance on three tracks, infusing his signature groove into the mix. Tab also proudly features his touring band on the record, with bassist Corey Duplechin and drummer Terence Higgins solidifying the powerhouse lineup. Benoit’s journey began in 1992 with a radio hit from his debut record Nice and Warm. Since then, he has received multiple Blues Music Awards and four GRAMMY nominations. Beyond the music, Benoit is celebrated for his years of activism, particularly concerning the Louisiana Wetlands and coastal erosion. He seamlessly intertwines his artistic brilliance with a profound commitment to environmental advocacy, ensuring his legacy extends beyond the stage into the heart of the land that inspires his bluesy soul. Benoit does more than play the blues; he defines its future while paying homage to its rich past.
