Two powerhouse storytellers, one unforgettable night: blues icon Tab Benoit and roots-rock favorite Paul Thorn bring their signature grit, soul, and electrifying live energy to Harken Hall. With searing guitar work, swampy rhythms, and songs that cut straight to the bone, Benoit delivers the raw, authentic blues that has made him a legend, while Thorn’s wry humor, heart-on-his-sleeve songwriting, and Southern-fried rock and gospel spirit create a set that’s as moving as it is exhilarating.
Start the evening with a special happy hour performance from The Tiger Beats, a Nashville-based collective of musicians united by a deep respect for the great era of blues and early R&B. Founded by singer and guitarist Patrick Sweany and featuring drummer Jason Smay, bassist Ted Pecchio, and guitarist/singer McKinley James, the band has become a singular force on the Music City scene. Refined through their celebrated Blue Monday residencies, The Tiger Beats deliver a powerful, groove-driven set rooted in Delta and Chicago blues, West Side guitar swagger, swinging R&B, and a touch of swampy soul — raw, dynamic, and deeply soulful old-school sounds for the here and now.
Following the happy hour set, Paul Thorn takes the stage with his acclaimed blend of blues, rock, and Americana storytelling, before Tab Benoit closes the night with a masterclass in guitar-driven emotion and technique. As Guitar Player Magazine raves, “Tab Benoit brings his A-game to every performance, captivating audiences with his masterful guitar work and soulful vocals… His guitar playing is a masterclass in emotion and technique, making every note resonate.”
