an exceptional lineup with Shane Theriot on guitar and Doug Belote on drums. This new album comes after Benoit’s successful 2022 album Waitin’ on Friday, which received acclaim for its fusion of country, rock, and Cajun soul.

A former Marine Corps veteran and construction worker, Benoit turned to music after his return to New Orleans post-Katrina. Since then, he has been on an extensive tour, including prominent events like Jazz Fest, Telluride Blues & Brews, and various European concerts. His upcoming album, Mid-City, promises to showcase his unique blend of musical styles and storytelling abilities.

To build anticipation for the album’s release, Benoit plans to drop three singles throughout the summer, each accompanied by a music video directed by Michael Brouphy. The first single, “Louisiana Time,” is a heartfelt tribute to bayou camp life, set to release on July 25. This will be followed by “Raining in Kentucky” on August 22 and “Spent” on September 26.

Benoit’s dedication to his craft is evident in his relentless performance schedule. In 2024 alone, he and his band graced fifteen major music festivals, including the French Quarter Festival, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, the W.C. Handy Blues Festival, and the Telluride Blues and Brews Festival. Benoit even took on an international tour, opening for his brother Tab’s album release before headlining the Lucerne Blues Festival in Switzerland and closing out the year with a series of shows in Florida with Samantha Fish.

Tyron Benoit’s journey from a military and construction background to a successful musician reflects the resilience and passion that defines his music. With Mid-City poised for release, fans can expect a captivating blend of Louisiana roots, rock, and soul that showcases Benoit’s storytelling prowess and musical craftsmanship.
