Southern Breeze 2007 Fall Issue - (Page 54) Cajun boy Tab Benoit never ventured far from the bayou waters of Houma until he fell in love with the blues. Playing guitar with blues legends Tabby Thomas, Raful Neal, and Henry Gary, Tab formed a trio in 1987 and played gigs in nearby Baton Rouge and New Orleans. He resisted the rock-n-roll promoters determined to grow his Cajun blues by touring roadhouses across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. His perseverance has earned him numerous music awards along with 14 albums since 1992. Tab’s energy and talent on stage have been compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix, but off stage he is a modest man eager to get back to Houma’s tranquil waters. A songwriter, he shares his passion behind the words educating the audience on the perils of losing his hometown. He knows firsthand the destruction of coastal erosion, losing 54 s o u t h e r n b re e z e . c o m his Lake Decade camp to Hurricane Lilly’s high waters in 2002. In 2003, he began his crusade to bring awareness to this ecological travesty by organizing the Voice of the Wetlands (VOW). In 2005, VOW and Tab’s work in creating awareness of coastal erosion had come to an end when the entire world witnessed the death and destruction from Hurricane Katrina. Ironically, Tab and teenage fiddler Amanda Shaw had just completed filming Hurricane Warning, a documentary showing what could happen if a major hurricane hit the coast of Louisiana. Renamed Hurricane on the Bayou, the movie opens with a telling view of the Louisiana coastline edging its way into New Orleans then zooms down to rooftops filled with people crying for help. “Now we can go straight to just fixing the problem,” Tab proclaims.
