Tab Benoit (born November 17, 1967) is an American blues guitarist, musician, and singer.

His playing combines a number of blues styles, primarily Delta blues.

1972

He plays a stock 1972 Fender Telecaster Thinline electric guitar and writes his own musical compositions.

1985

Benoit graduated from Vandebilt Catholic High School in Houma, Louisiana in May 1985.

1987

He formed a trio in 1987 and began playing clubs in Baton Rouge and New Orleans.

1991

He began touring other parts of the South two years later and started touring more of the United States in 1991.

Today he continues to perform across the country.

Benoit was featured in the IMAX film, Hurricane on the Bayou.

1992

Benoit landed a recording contract with Texas-based Justice Records and released a series of recordings, beginning in 1992 with Nice and Warm.

1999

These Blues Are All Mine was released on Vanguard in 1999 after Justice folded.

That same year, Benoit appeared on Homesick for the Road, a collaborative album on the Telarc label with fellow guitarists Kenny Neal and Debbie Davies.

2002

Homesick not only served as a showcase for three relatively young musicians, but also launched Benoit's relationship with Telarc, which came to fruition in 2002 with the release of Wetlands.

On Wetlands, Benoit mixed original material such as the autobiographical "When a Cajun Man Gets the Blues" and "Fast and Free" with Professor Longhair's "Her Mind Is Gone" and Otis Redding's "These Arms of Mine".

Later in 2002, Benoit released Whiskey Store, a collaborative recording with fellow guitarist and Telarc labelmate Jimmy Thackery, harpist Charlie Musselwhite, and the Double Trouble rhythm section consisting of bassist Tommy Shannon and drummer Chris Layton.

2003

In 2003, he formed "Voice of the Wetlands," an organization promoting awareness of coastal wetlands preservation.

A guitar player since his teenage years, Benoit appeared at the Blues Box, a music club and cultural center in 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.

In 2003, Benoit released Sea Saint Sessions, recorded at Big Easy Recording Studio in New Orleans.

In addition to Benoit and his regular crew, bassist Carl Dufrene and drummer Darryl White, Sea Saint Sessions included guest appearances by Big Chief Monk Boudreaux, Cyril Neville, Brian Stoltz, and George Porter Jr.. That same year, Benoit and Thackery took their dueling guitar show on the road, and recorded a March 2003 performance at the Unity Centre for Performing Arts in Unity, Maine.

2004

The result was Whiskey Store Live, released in February 2004.

2005

Benoit's 2005 release was Fever for the Bayou, which also included guest appearances by Cyril Neville (vocals and percussion) and Big Chief Monk Boudreaux (vocals).

2006

In 2006, Benoit recorded Brother to the Blues with Louisiana's LeRoux.

It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album.

His cover of Buddy Miller's "Shelter Me" was the theme song for the Discovery Channel TV-series, Sons of Guns.

2007

Benoit was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame (LMHOF) on May 16, 2010, at the LMHOF Louisiana Music Homecoming in Erwinville, Louisiana.

In 2010, Benoit received the Governor's Award – Conservationist of the Year for 2009 by the Louisiana Wildlife Federation.

He uses his music to promote the issues that plague Louisiana's imperiled coast to his national audience.

One reason he founded the nonprofit Voice of the Wetlands Foundation (VOW) is to support outreach and education about Louisiana's Wetlands loss and how Louisiana's rich culture is also going away as its wetlands disappear.

He owns his own recording studio in Houma, Louisiana, and runs a record label, Whiskey Bayou Records.

Benoit co-arranged and co-produced Alastair Greene's album, The New World Blues.
