Tab Benoit
Grammy-nominated guitarist and Louisiana Wetlands activist Tab Benoit has become one of the premiere roots guitarists and songwriters of Louisiana culture. Tab performs 250 nights a year, paying his dues as a road troubadour at large festivals and in small towns across North America.
Growing up in Houma, LA, Tab developed a 70's rock 'n roll syle that naturally progressed into the Cajun rock 'n blues he now plays.
Tab will be coming into WWOZ's studios to perform live on the air during our Spring 2010 Membership Drive. Hosted by George Ingmire.
