Tab Benoit with Special Guests (Orpheum)

Friday. March 9, 2012. 8:00PM.

Returning to Sioux Falls after a sellout performance last year, Tab Benoit has been a guitar player since his teenage years. He hung out at the Blues Box, a ramshackle music club and cultural center in nearby 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 a faculty of living blues legends. He took his show on the road in the early ‘90s and hasn’t stopped since.

An environmental activist as well as a stellar blues musician, Benoit has made the preservation of the endangered delta wetlands his personal crusade. He serves as president of Voice of the Wetlands, an environmental organization he co-founded in 2003.

Tab Benoit’s high energy guitar blues will bring home the sounds of the bayou once again. And, he’s bringing a few friends along with him this time.

Tickets are $44.00 & $29.00. For more information visit www.sfjb.org or call 605-335-6101.
