A southern band who\u2019s performed at the Bayou Arts Fest and other local festivals in Houma and Thibodaux is dropping a new album in late September.<\/p>\n\n

The Tyron Benoit Band, who is performing at Luminate Houma this weekend, September 13, and the Bayou Regional Arts Festival in October, will release a new album titled \u201cMid City,\u201d September 26 which includes 10 tracks. Leading up to the release, the band has already revealed two singles to drum up anticipation: \u201cLouisiana Time,\u201d and \u201cRaining in Kentucky.\u201d A third single \u201cSpent,\u201d will drop with the final album.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe getting casse\u2019d with the coullions \/ From Barre to Fourchon \/ Where the water gets high \/ And so do I, you know \/ We doing just fine,” Benoit sings in the track titled “Louisiana Time.”<\/p>\n

Born and raised in Little Calliou, Benoit left to serve in Desert Storm before travelling the world. Now 55, he has been busy the past two years. His band mates also hail from nearby, with Doug Belote from Lafayette and Shane Theriot from Raceland.<\/p>\n\n

The band’s music is a blend of folk, zydeco,\u00a0country and southern rock. Benoit was asked what got him into music. He said it wasn\u2019t really a choice \u2014 it is a calling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI think it calls you,” Benoit said. “It\u2019s something you think you can walk away from and it comes back and it pulls at you.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He said his favored instrument wouldn\u2019t be a first choice for most musicians.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t choose accordion, it chose me,” he said. “Who would want to choose a freakin\u2019 circus instrument that makes you look like a goofball, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

He began in his 20s in Denver with his younger brother, Tate Benoit, in places like Herman\u2019s Hideaway<\/a>. He went into the Marines to serve his country, traveled to New York, and then returned to Kenner, where he stepped away from music professionally for about a decade to care for ailing family members.<\/p>\n\n

In the past two years, the siren call of the stage has brought him back.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was probably away from professional music for the better part of a decade,\u201d he said, discussing caring for his family. \u201cAs those things cleared up, it\u2019s been literally like a whirlwind ever since. It\u2019s been full force. We played 16 major festivals in 2024, finished all the way in Lausanne, Switzerland.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Some of that time was dedicated to the recording studio, and Benoit\u2019s enthusiasm for the album could be felt even over the phone. It is a collaboration with the New Orleans producer Donald Markowitz, who co-wrote \u201cTime of my Life,\u201d the Academy Award-winning song best known from the movie “Dirty Dancing.”<\/p>\n

According to Benoit, the studio is almost another member of the music-making process, adding its own feel to the final product. The collaborative environment allows the artists to bounce ideas one another. It was in this environment that Benoit said Markowitz made a remark that stuck with Benoit throughout the album.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018OK, you\u2019re about to have the opportunity to speak to the world: make sure you know what you want to say to them,\u2019\u201d Benoit recalled Markowitz saying. \u201cI started thinking, ‘When I\u2019m gone, or if I\u2019m gone whatever the case is, is this still going to say something?’\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Benoit reflected on those words, and he said it sets this album apart. According to Benoit, his music explores love in all its forms. To him, it\u2019s what makes us human.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an infinite reflection of humanity, and each of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said perhaps it was the life experiences during his music hiatus, or maybe it was Markowitz\u2019s words, but this album is of particular importance to him because he wanted the music to be a time capsule.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time around it was about contributing, about giving something back, about putting something out there that might help somebody somewhere down the line,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
