Tab Benoit

World reknowned blues guitarist Tab Benoit will open the star-studded series on the scenic Camden Waterfront with the Philadelpha skyline serving as the backdrop.

The 57-year old Louisiana-born Benoit burst on the national scene in 1987, but it wasn't until 2007 when the awards starting rolling in. And they haven't stopped as his Delta-playing style has captured the hearts of many around the world.

In 2007, Benoit won his first B.B. King Entertainer of the Year award presented by the Blues Music Awards, described variously as "the highest accolade afforded musicians and songwriters in Blues music"[5] and "[t]he premier blues music event in the world".

Benoit was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame (LMHOF) on May 16, 2010, at the LMHOF Louisiana Music Homecoming in Erwinville, Louisiana.

In 2012, Benoit won three separate Blues Music Awards: Contemporary Blues Male Artist; Contemporary Blues Album (for 2011's Medicine); and for the second time, B.B. King Entertainer of the Year.

2013 saw Benoit win the Blues Music Awards Contemporary Blues Male Artist for the second year in a row.

Benoit will be in the middle of a tour which which features four New Jersey venues, but this will be the only one that is free.
