I Hear Thundermarks 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, for his imprint, Whiskey Bayou Records, is a testament to his 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 thatinspires his bluesy soul.

On Benoit's forthcoming national tour, fans will be delighted to hear the new songs and selected tracks from his vast catalog. Benoit does more than play the blues; he defines its future while paying homage to its rich past.

Jesse Dayton stands as one of the most dynamic figures in modern American music, seamlessly blending Texas blues, outlaw country, and punk rock into a sound uniquely his own. Hailing from Beaumont, Texas, Dayton’s storied career spans decades and includes collaborations with legends like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Willie Nelson, as well as modern icons such as Samantha Fish and Duff McKagan. From his days fronting the Road Kings to composing for Rob Zombie’s cult films, Dayton has built a legacy of fearless artistry and relentless energy.

His latest album, The Hard Way Blues, produced by Grammy-winner Shooter Jennings, debuted at #2 on the Billboard Blues Albums chart, earning acclaim for its raw storytelling and electrified guitar work. Dayton also earned a Grammy nomination for his collaboration with Samantha Fish on Death Wish Blues, further cementing his place in the roots music world.

Now, Dayton embarks on a new chapter with the Texas Headhunters, a dynamic new band featuring Ian Moore, Johnny Moeller, and a stellar lineup of supporting musicians. Rooted in Texas blues and honoring the rich musical history of the Lone Star State, the Texas Headhunters are set to release their debut album in 2025, bringing a fresh energy to the blues for a new generation.
