LIVE MUSIC IN ARKANSAS: Tab Benoit, Dirty Dozen Brass Band bringing Louisiana to Little Rock

Phat Tuesday

Tuesday may feel a bit like Fat Tuesday in Little Rock, as Tab Benoit brings his Louisiana-soaked blues and soul to The Hall. It’s his second visit to the venue since it opened and this time he has the Dirty Dozen Brass Band opening the show. The top-tier tickets are sold out, but $25 general admission ones were still available at press time. (Special to the Democrat-Gazette/Jean Frank Photography)
