Event Description
Tab Benoit Concert

Join us as Peoples Natural Gas Park welcomes back Tab Benoit with special guest Jimmy Adler! The event is presented by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association and sponsored by SMG.


Tab Benoit is a 3-time Grammy nominee, four times Blues Music Awards' "Entertainer of the Year," 5 times "Contemporary Male Blues Performer of the Year," and Louisiana’s No. 1 roots export.

He's also a big favorite in Johnstown -- he played for the opening of Peoples Natural Gas Park in 2012, and the AmeriServ Flood City Music Festival in 2011 and 1997. More than just an acclaimed bluesman, he is an indefatigable conservation advocate. Benoit is a driving force behind Voice of the Wetlands, an organization working to save Louisiana’s wetlands. In 2010, he received the Governor’s Award for Conservationist of the Year from the Louisiana Wildlife Federation. Benoit also starred in the iMax motion picture Hurricane on the Bayou, a documentary of Hurricane Katrina’s effects and a call to restore the wetlands.


In 2007, Benoit won the dual awards of B.B. King Entertainer of the Year and Best Contemporary Male Performer at the Blues Music Awards in Memphis (formerly the W.C. Handy Awards). In 2006, he received a GRAMMY nomination for Best Traditional Blues Album for Brother to the Blues, a collaboration with Louisiana’s LeRoux. LeRoux joined Benoit on Power of the Pontchartrain in 2007 and the live Night Train to Nashville in 2008.


Jimmy Adler, a  original blues music that is steeped in the traditions of Chicago Blues, West-Coast Jazzy Jump, and other Americana traditions.  Jimmy's guitar style features a blend of clean fat tones and raunchy slide guitar.
