En directo en Brewsky's (Hattiesburg): Tab Benoit w/ Duane Betts

Live.com for more info THE SOUTHERN GENTLEMEN TOUR TAB BENOIT & DUANE BETTS Two of the South's most distinctive guitar voices come together for The Southern Gentlemen Tour---Louisiana blues master Tab Benoit and Southern rock heir Duane Betts and his band Palmetto Motel. A multi-Grammy-nominated guitarist and singer, Tab Benoit has spent more than three decades carving out his own sound. Louisiana soul and roots music have always been at the heart of Tab Benoit's catalog. His playing is built on tone, touch, and feel. His famously stripped-down approach uses virtually no effects---just guitar, cord, and amplifier. As Tab puts it, , "rdquo" -> The effects that you hear come from my fingers." Benoit's legacy includes recordings with Billy Joe Shaver, Junior Wells, James Cotton, and Willie Nelson, establishing himself as one of Louisiana's most important musical exports. Duane Betts carries a different branch of the Southern guitar tradition. The son of legendary Allman Brothers guitarist Dickey Betts, Duane grew up surrounded by the music that helped define Southern rock. A founding member of The Allman Betts Band, he has forged his own identity as a soulful guitarist and songwriter while carrying forward the melodic, improvisational spirit of his father's generation. Duane's philosophy is simple: , "rdquo" -> It's really about having a unique voice, trying to take the listener on a journey." That is what makes The Southern Gentlemen Tour special. Benoit's raw Louisiana blues collides with Betts' melodic Southern sound---two generations, two traditions, and two guitarists who refuse to sound like anyone else.
