Live Blues

The strength and grit of Avey's guitar and vocals are beautifully matched by the sheer power and nuance of Grouws' unmistakable voice. She's been called "a choir full of angels on a runaway train!" Gary Eckhart of Blue Monday Monthly saw their first performance in 2017 called Grouws "a rising star" and said, "It was their first show and they are already ready for festivals!" And ready they were. AGB wowed audiences at Mississippi Valley Blues Fest, Prairie Dog Blues Fest, Nordic Fest and Smokin' In Steele BBQ & Blues Fest. With the release of their EP "Road to Memphis" in May of 2018, Avey/Grouws Band is marking their spot on the music scene.

One of the most impressive guitarists to emerge from the rich Bayous of Southern Louisiana in recent years, Tab Benoit's guitar tone can be recognized before his Otis-Redding-ish voice resonates from the speakers. He doesn't rely on any effects and his set up is simple. It consists of a guitar, cord, and Category 5 Amplifier. The effects that you hear come from his fingers.
