TYRON BENOIT BAND

 "Hard-driving, arena-ready rock that keeps the Louisiana elements up front and the accordion high in the mix!"

- Offbeat Magazine

 

​

"This band brings the summer heat of the Louisiana bayou, and the rhythm of a train chugging through America’s heartland...  Tyron’s accordion dances over the band’s blues-rock-soul engine and his honeyed, deeply felt vocals sing straight to the heart. Boot-scootin’ is fully in order. In fact, dancing to this band is irresistible."

- SBG Productions (Durango Blues Train, Telluride Blues and Brews)

 

​

Yes indeed.  Tyron Benoit continues to make a name for himself on stage after stage, with a growing list of festival invitations.  He is most certainly known for his bawdy, hard-driving music, frequently punctuated by the distinct Louisiana stamp of dance-floor packing accordion, alongside growling electric guitars and an unstoppable rhythm section…  But he's also a true singer/songwriter with an array of tender ballads about life, love, and loss.  He served in combat as a United States Marine, is a devoted family man, and writes music from the heart...

  

His stage presence alternates between a fiery revival tent preacher - and a soulful troubadour.  His energy is electric and his range is wide, but there is a common thread that weaves through his music that is familiar as a Thanksgiving family meal or a house party.  And the fan base just keeps growing. 

 

In 2024, Tyron and his band played 15 major festivals:  from the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival to the W.C. Handy Blues Festival to packing out our venue at the Prestigious Telluride Blues and Brews Festival, and a trip across the Atlantic Ocean to close out the Lucerne Blues Festival.  In addition, the band opened for brother Tab's album release tour and closed out the final three nights of 2024 opening for the great Samantha Fish!

 

We are excited for what lies in store!
