Tab Benoit
Tab Benoit first hit the radio airwaves in 1992 with a self-penned song that was written for a Benefit Record the Homeless in Houston Texas. The song was called “Nice and Warm”. The first line sung was “I can’t wait to get back home where the sun is always nice and warm”. The song hit radio charts and Tab quickly became the highest selling blues Artist since the death of the late Stevie Ray Vaughn.
In 2006 Benoit recorded " Brother To The Blues" with Louisiana’s LeRoux. The album was a bit more countrified but still was nominated for a Grammy for Best Traditional Blues Album.
Tab is also featured in the 2006 IMAX film, Hurricane on the Bayou.
In early 2008 Tab was named Blues Music Foundations “Entertainer of the Year” and B.B. King Blues player of the year.
