I Hear Thunder marks the long-awaited return of four-time Grammy-nominated artist Tab Benoit. Renowned for his distinctive guitar tone and Otis Redding-esque voice, Benoit has been a captivating figure in the roots music world for over thirty years.
Tab’s personal growth and advancement as a songwriter and musician have culminated in a benchmark recording. His new self-produced album, I Hear Thunder, released on his imprint Whiskey Bayou Records, is a testament to the fiery exuberance that first marked his career in 1992. The record not only showcases his artistic brilliance but also his profound commitment to environmental advocacy—a legacy that extends beyond the stage into the heart of the land that inspires his bluesy soul.
On Benoit’s forthcoming national tour, fans will be delighted to hear new songs alongside selected tracks from his vast catalog. Benoit does more than play the blues—he defines its future while paying homage to its rich past.
Too Slim & the Taildraggers will open the show for Tab. Tim “Too Slim“ Langford is a monster guitarist and unabashed blues rocker. He is a prolific singer-songwriter with 14 studio albums, 2 solo albums, and several live CDs on the Vizztone and Underworld Records labels. Too Slim and the Taildraggers include Langford (guitar/vocals), Zach Kasik (bass/vocals), and Chris Reiser (drums/vocals).
Too Slim’s music defies classification. Langford has earned Lifetime Achievement and Hall of Fame awards from three Northwest blues societies and more than 40 music awards. Their music has been featured on MTV’s The Real World and Road Rules.
