 hunder**\, signaling that his best work is yet to come.\n\nOn the **Soul o
 f the Swamp Tour**\, Tab will take you on a musical journey\, performing s
 ongs from his vast catalog and digging deep into the rich tones and storyt
 elling lyrics that have made him an admired figure in the music world. Tru
 e to his authentic style\, Tab performs without effects—just a guitar\, 
 a cord\, and an amp—allowing the magic of his music to shine through his
  hands\, fingers\, and his band.\n\nTAB BENOIT\n\nTab Benoit is a 4x Gramm
 y nominated singer\, songwriter and guitarist who has built a remarkable 3
 0+ year career on the foundation of his gritty and soulful Delta swamp blu
 es\, acquiring a devoted legion of fans along the way\, as well as 5 Blues
  Music Awards\, including BB King Entertainer of the Year (twice) and an i
 nduction into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.\n\nAfter a 13-year hiatus\
 , Tab is back with his latest effort\, I Hear Thunder\, on his own label\,

  success\, Benoit took a step away from music\, taking a 13-year sabbatica
 l from recording and entering a period of creative exile.\n\nTab's accompl
 ishments as a musician are matched only by his devotion to the environment
 al health of his native Louisiana wetlands. The notoriety achieved by his 
 success provided him with a mouthpiece to promote his growing concern for 
 the Louisiana Wetlands and coastal erosion from the region he calls home.

 organization working to preserve the coastal waters of his home state. In 
 2010\, he received the Governor's Award for Conservationist of the Year fr

 with grit\, soul\, and serious chops\, Ghalia Volt brings a magnetic\, hig
 h-voltage presence to the stage—armed with just a guitar\, foot-drums\, 
 and raw talent. Born in Belgium and raised on the streets of Brussels\, sh
 e carved her path busking before diving deep into the American South’s b
 lues tradition. Her latest album Shout Sister Shout! hit #2 on the Billboa
 rd Blues Chart\, marking her third straight Top 3 release.\n\nWhether tear
 ing it up at festivals like New Orleans’ Jazz Fest and Telluride Blues &
 amp\; Brews\, captivating 60 Minutes producers in Clarksdale\, or sharing 
 bills with the likes of Tab Benoit\, Devon Allman and Buddy Guy\, Ghalia
 ’s One Woman Band is pure\, unfiltered blues energy. No band. No pretens
 e. Just one woman channeling the ghosts of the Delta with a global fire al
 l her own.
