Tab Benoit to Perform at Boulder Theater, 9/15

TAB BENOIT will play Boulder Theater on September 15th, 2016. Doors: 7:00 pm | Show: 8:00 pm. Tickets on sale now - $20 res, $25 balc or $35 gold circle.

Medicine showcases a lean, energetic young band, and vibe-wise it's hipper and groovier than anything Benoit has ever done before. The recording also spotlights the work of keyboardist Ivan Neville (son of Aaron Neville and nephew to members of the Neville Brothers), drummer Brady Blade (Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Dave Matthews) and bassist Corey Duplechin (Chubby Carrier & Bayou Swamp Band). Fiddler/singer Michael Doucet of BeauSoleil makes a special appearance on three tracks.

Medicine was recorded at Louisiana's legendary Dockside Studio (B.B. King, Dr. John, Keb' Mo', Taj Mahal, Buckwheat Zydeco), located on a 12 acre estate in the heart of Cajun country on the banks of the Vermilion Bayou, and engineered by David Z (Prince, Jonny Lang, Buddy Guy, Gov't Mule). The award-winning music producer/engineer worked with Benoit on three earlier releases (Fever for the Bayou, Power of the Pontchartrain and Night Train to Nashville). "When David's in the booth, I don't have to worry," says Benoit. "He's always comfortable with the way I work. We have a lot of fun and like to joke."

Medicine is more than another strong entry in Benoit's increasingly impressive discography it's one of his most defining albums. 'Magic happens when you least expect it,' says Benoit. 'Most of the stuff here was played live ~ these are mostly first takes. When it came down to playing, we weren't trying to structure. We were open to the moment.'
