Tab Benoit - 'Darkness' Live At Telluride Blues & Brews Festival

This powerful and exciting blues guitarist is always welcome back to the mountains. He’s been playing since he was a teen in Houma, Louisiana and learned his craft from living legends playing in local clubs. Those lessons were taken to heart — his playing is expressive and nuanced, at once face melting as it is seductive. He was inducted in the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2010 and in 2007 the Blues Music Awards honored him with the B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award. In 2012 the BMA recognized him again with not only the B.B. King award, but also Best Contemporary Blues Album (for 2011’s Medicine) and Contemporary Blues Male Artist. His self-penned songs and tasteful covers will take you deep into the Louisiana night where the blues runs deep and the humidity of the South keeps things greasy. Tab founded conservation group Voice of the Wetlands, which works to raise awareness about the fragile wetlands ecosystem along the Louisiana coastline. This is one righteous human.

Get ready for an jaw-dropping rendition of his track “Darkness” live from the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival Main Stage.

Someone in life got jipped out of a voice, and someone guitar skills, because it isnt even RIGHT that Tab could MASTER both lol :) Love this track. Love this God :)

Can’t wait to see him again if he comes back down to San Juan Capistrano CA in October. My first favorite blues artist

My wife and I saw Tab, at an outdoor concert early May, 2021 in St. Augustine, Florida. Small setting only 250 guests. Fantastic is the only way to describe it.

[FortunateJuice]

This is a slower version than the album cut. Perfect close embrace song.

[sharkair]

a guitar like that is both a blessing and a curse...

[Karuth]

that moment when you've been listening to the recorded version and then discover there is a live version...

The sound company screwed this mans tone! Tab’s playing is great, but that’s not his usual live mojo!
