TAB BENOIT
Tab Benoit is a 4x Grammy nominated singer, songwriter and guitarist who has built aremarkable 30+ year career on the foundation of his gritty and soulful Delta swamp blues,acquiring a devoted legion of fans along the way, as well as5 Blues Music Awards, including BBKing Entertainer of the Year (twice) and an induction into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.After a 13-year hiatus, Tab is back with his latest effort,I Hear Thunder, on his own label,Whiskey Bayou Records. The newalbum was his first #1 in the Billboard charts in over 30 years..Benoit's 2013 release,Medicine, was co-produced withAnders Osborne for Concord International, and garnered three Blues Music Awards. Followingthis notable success, Benoit took a step away from music, taking a 13-year sabbatical from recording and entering a period of creative exile.
Paul Thorn
When it comes to songwriting, less is more, and simplicity is strength. Just ask Paul Thorn,who’s spent three decades turning soulful grooves and small syllables into songs that pack a big wallop. Maybe he learned the power of minimalism from his years asa pro boxer; maybe it just comes naturally. But whether he’s targeting heads, hearts, hips or the occasional funny bone, he somehow manages to condense large nuggets of wisdom into tight little mantras, the kind embroiderers stitched onto pillows before internet memes existed.Thorn’s new album,Life is Just A Vapor, contains some beauties: “Life is a vapor, let’s live it while we can”; “tough times don’t last, but tough people do” (from “Tough Times Don’t Last”);“any mountain up ahead is just a hill” (from “Old Melodies”). They’re words of advice, comfort,support,encouragement, often meant to uplift, especially in times of struggle.“I like for people to be touched by music and get something from it, something that they can takewith them throughout the day,” Thorn says.“Every song on this album, there's a message in it of some sort about how to live life.”
