EPK - Tyron Benoit Band
"Hard-driving, arena-ready rock that keeps the Louisiana elements up front!"
-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)
Tyron is a native of bayou country, in Houma, Louisiana. Younger brother of blues guitar great, Tab, Tyron has been playing music for over three decades, beginning his music career in Colorado. "When I moved back to New Orleans, I really began to branch out musically, still fueled by that searching. I put myself in situations where I would learn or grow from it. I was super thirsty for exploring beyond the boundaries of what we had played on the road. I started playing with many other musicians and bands: reggae, funk, rock... whatever and wherever I could grab a bite of something, I was trying to get a taste. I even had an opportunity to lead a band for Big Chief Monk Boudreaux. He is a true legend, and I knew I was now part of New Orleans musical history."
The Tyron Benoit Band has played New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, French Quarter Festival, Sunbanks Blues Festival (WA), Silver City Blues Festival (NM), W.C. Handy Blues Festival (KY), the Durango Blues Train (CO), Bayou Bon Vivant (VA), Telluride Blues and Brews Festival (CO), Blues From The Top (CO), Lucerne Blues Festival, Switzerland, as well as the Smoothie King NBA Halftime Show. They’ve been on the road with Tab Benoit and closed out 2024 opening for Samantha Fish.
In 2025 Tyron released his second album, Mid City. In 2026, He is collaborating with Louisiana musicians Mike Doussan and Josh Garrett, putting decades on the road and in the studio into a new album and a live run together, while the Tyron Benoit Band keeps playing at home, around the region, and out on the road.
"(Tyron) ...seamlessly weaves together elements of folk, Americana, and roots rock, creating a warm and organic sound that feels both timeless and contemporary. The arrangement is dynamic yet intimate, with acoustic guitar-driven instrumentation complemented by electric flairs, rich harmonies, rhythmic percussion, and subtle yet effective production choices. Benoit’s vocal delivery is sincere and inviting, carrying a natural grit that enhances the song’s authenticity."
