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.
SPECIAL GUEST-Ghalia Volt: One-Woman Band
Bringing a fresh energy to the blues, Ghalia Volt has been turning heads with her innovative One-Woman Band. Born in Belgium and now rooted in the American South, Volt took a bold leap during the pandemic, embarking on a month-long Amtrak journey across America. Armed with her guitar, foot-drums, and a suitcase of songs, she wrote and performed her way across the country, laying the foundation for her critically acclaimed solo project.
Volt’s performances are a whirlwind of raw energy, blending the deep roots of European blues with the gritty edge of American rock and roll. Her rise has earned her growing acclaim, including a feature on 60 Minutes’ 2023 State of the Blues story. With passion and innovation, Volt’s One-Woman Band embodies the future of blues while honoring its timeless traditions.
