This band brings the summer heat of the Louisiana bayou, and the rhythm of a train chugging through America’s heartland. Capping the third of three performances aboard last year’s Durango Blues Train, festival director and devoted music-lover, Steve Gumble, made his way to the front of the swaying train car and invited the Tyron Benoit Band to this year’s festival. On that ecstatic August summer night, both band and revelers celebrated with – what else? – more music. Tyron’s accordion dances over the band’s blues-rock-soul engine and his honeyed, deeply felt vocals sing straight to the heart. Boot-scootin’ is fully in order. In fact, dancing to this band is irresistible. Ask anyone on that train last August.
