Hello World!  Tab Benoit burned up the Tupelo stage with drummer Jeffery “Jellybean ” Alexander and bassist Corey Duplechin.  I loved hearing two of my favorites, “Shelter Me” and “Nothing Takes the Place of You “.  Tab had the audience going with his humor as well.  After the show, I asked Tab and his band what they are listening to.

Corey listens to Jazz, Funk, and Fusion on Pandora.  He has a wide range of musical interests including Alice Cooper and AC/DC.  I have to say if you wanna rock out AC/DC is at the top of the list!  Although It’s a Long Way to the Top!

Jellybean likes old R and B as well as Mint Condition-check out (Nothing Left to Say ). This is the second time I have seen Jellybean perform. He has a smile that does not quit!

When I asked Tab, he said, “I am listening to you” (talk that is). Not a chance that he would refer to my singing.  Tab feels music deep in his soul and favors the music he grew up with.  Although he did not give specifics, I think it safe to say the Blues were an influential part of his youth!  Tab considers the songs that get stuck in his head a nuisance. Unless of course, they’re his creations. For more info on Tab Benoit click on  tabbenoit.com.  He will be in New England for a few more shows this month.

Thanks “guys”!  Loved learning about “wild chickens” and “tricorn hats” too!
