The rich musical history of Louisiana was hardwired into the DNA of Tyron Benoit. He soaked up the sounds of classic Country music and heard Cajun Folk sounds from his grandfather’s fiddle and harmonica playing. Once he had wheels underneath him, the car radio played Led Zeppelin and Steely Dan. Tyron Benoit makes good use of all his influences on his recent release, Mid-City. Hints of Country back “Two Faces” as the sway of Folk Rock defines the beat for “Raining in Kentucky”. A slow rhythm frames “Spent” while guitar strums lead the way into “Walking Day” and a DIY guide to contentment plays with every note of “Feels Like Home”.

Music became a calling for Tyron Benoit when he spent time in Colorado after a combat tour as a Marine in Operation Desert Storm. He arrived back in New Orleans right before the Crescent City was shaken by Hurricane Katrina. He helped rebuild a city in shambles as he immersed himself in the diverse sounds of New Orleans. Stepping to the beat of Zydeco, Tyron Benoit marks “Louisiana Time”, facing “Trouble Again” on a dark melody as a Cajun groove wraps around “Bogue Chitto River Blues” like the love story in the song. Exiting Mid-City, Tyron Benoit plays a faithful version of The Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood”. (by Danny McCloskey)
