Tab Benoit by Nelson Onofre
What's up Blues fans! This week I am submitting photos of Tab Benoit from his Feb. 13, 2010 show at Le Poisson Rouge in New York. It was part of the 4th Annual Nolafunk Mardi Gras Ball and Tab did a great job of getting the festivities off to a rousing start. The place was packed with people ready to celebrate and have a good time. I saw quite a few New Orleans Saints jerseys in the crowd.
I had seen Tab a couple of times before but it's been a long time. I think the last time was during the Standing On The Bank tour in 1995. He was kind enough to autograph the insert on the disc for me. His Nice and Warm disc is still one of my favorites as is his What I Live For disc. All in all it was a solid show by Tab and his band. Plenty of fire and passion in his playing and he certainly has matured as a musician.
I would like to thank Rueben Williams and Tab's road manager, Adam Ross, for granting me access to the show.
Until the next go-round, keep supporting the Blues. As you can see these cats are working hard to lay it down for you.
