About Tab Benoit
I Hear Thunder marks the long-awaited return of four-time Grammy-nominated artist Tab Benoit. Renowned for his distinctive guitar tone and Otis-Redding-esque voice, Benoit has been a captivating figure in the roots music world for over thirty years.
Tab’s personal growth and advancement as a songwriter and musician have culminated in a benchmark recording. His new self-produced album, I Hear Thunder, for his imprint, Whiskey Bayou Records, is a testament to his fiery exuberance that first marked his career in 1992. The record not only showcases his artistic brilliance but also his profound commitment to environmental advocacy, a legacy that extends beyond the stage into the heart of the land that inspires his bluesy soul.
On Benoit’s forthcoming national tour, fans will be delighted to hear the new songs and selected tracks from his vast catalog. Benoit does more than play the blues; he defines its future while paying homage to its rich past.
About Duane Betts
Dynamic, respected, and steady rolling singer, songwriter and guitarist Duane Betts returns with his most unguarded and personal work to date — the highly anticipated new album, Isle of Hope, out June 12 via Sun Records. Produced by Grammy-winner Dave Cobb and recorded in just five days, Betts crafted Isle of Hope during an especially transformative period. At a pinnacle time in his thriving, decades-long career as both a solo artist and founding member of The Allman Betts Band, he lost his father and mentor, Dickey Betts. Isle of Hope is a revelatory snapshot of this pivotal moment. Forced to confront the reality of time and mortality head-on, Betts discovered a deeply impactful sense of clarity and conviction. The new project adds to a renowned career for Betts, who followed his debut EP, Sketches of American Music , with his acclaimed first solo LP, 2023’s Wild & Precious Life . Of Wild & Precious Life , No Depression praised, “[it] secures Betts’ place in the pantheon of great Southern rockers.” Betts initially rose to national prominence as a member of his father’s solo outfit, then as a touring guitarist for modern indie folk icons, Dawes. In addition to roadwork with The Allman Betts Band, Betts now headlines clubs, theatres and festivals with his own solo band, Palmetto Motel.
