DOUSSAN GARRETT BENOIT

Doussan Garrett Benoit is a South Louisiana collaboration born from two decades of friendship and the kind of musical trust you can only earn onstage and around kitchen tables. What began as a few get-togethers to trade ideas turned into a true band—three songwriters shaping original music and choice covers that honor the culture that raised them: blues, rock, swamp pop, Cajun/zydeco flavors, and New Orleans R&B.

Working out of Josh’s home studio in Prairieville, the trio writes the way great bands used to—face to face, chasing feel, leaving room for swing and soul. The project has quietly braided their lives back together, too.  That closeness shows up in the music—tight vocal blends, pocket-first grooves, guitar lines that answer the lyric, and arrangements that serve the song.

Whether they’re reimagining a Louisiana classic or unveiling a new original, the goal is simple: music that feels lived-in, honest, and built to last. This isn’t a side project—it’s home.
