J. Boog – Free Thursday Night Concert by JAS
Part of The Snowmass Summer of Free Music Series produced by Jazz Aspen Snowmass. J. Boog is a man of many influences. The singer of Samoan descent was born in Long Beach and raised in Compton, CA. Growing up in the rough streets of Compton, the strong sense of tradition and culture that J. Boog absorbed from his family was instrumental in his path to stay off the streets and begin a successful music career. Boog’s music is authentic Island music and genuine Jamaican reggae at the same time. Truly a new and exciting combination.

Tab Benoit – Free Thursday Concert by JAS
Part of The Snowmass Summer of Free Music Series produced by Jazz Aspen Snowmass. Tab Benoit is a Cajun man who’s definitely got the blues. A guitar player since his teenage years in Houma, LA, he hung out at the Blues Box, a ramshackle music club and cultural center in nearby Baton Rouge run by guitarist Tabby Thomas. Playing guitar with high-profile regulars at the club, Benoit learned the blues first-hand from a faculty of living blues legends. The gigs inspired Benoit to assemble his own band – a stripped down bass and drums unit propelled by his solid guitar skills and leathery, Cajun-spiced vocal attack. He took his show on the road in the early 90’s and hasn’t stopped since.
