New Braunfels: Tab Benoit at Gruene Hall
November 20 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Grammy-nominated Louisiana blues guitarist Tab Benoit brings his swamp-soaked sound to Gruene Hall on November 20, 2026. Tickets start at $55 for a late-fall evening with one of the most powerful live acts in American roots music.
A native of Houma, Louisiana, Tab Benoit has spent more than three decades immersed in the bayou blues tradition. He came up absorbing the sounds of Jimmy Reed, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the great New Orleans bluesmen before developing a style distinctly his own — electric and earthy, driven by a voice as weathered and resonant as the Louisiana wetlands that shaped him.
Benoit has released over a dozen studio albums and earned multiple Grammy nominations, but his reputation rests above all on his live performances. His shows are renowned for their intensity, with Benoit coaxing sounds from his guitar that feel less like playing and more like a direct conversation with the blues itself. He has won the Blues Music Award for Guitar Player of the Year multiple times — recognition that only hints at what he brings to a stage.
Beyond music, Benoit is known for his deep commitment to the Louisiana coastal environment. He founded Voice of the Wetlands, an environmental advocacy organization dedicated to preserving the bayou ecosystem that is central to his culture and his art. His shows carry the weight of all of it — the joy, the grief, and the defiant spirit of South Louisiana.
Tab Benoit at Gruene Hall in November is a rare Texas booking for one of the blues world’s brightest stars. Get your tickets on StubHub and don’t let this one pass you by.
