In the Room
When Ben Prestage came to the Tigre Island Room, the space transformed into a swamp-soaked blues revival. With homemade instruments at his feet and a growl in his voice, he delivered a raw, high-voltage set that had the room hanging on every note. It was gritty, emotional, and downright mesmerizing—a reminder that true blues doesn’t need polish to hit hard.
Stay tuned… something tells us the swamp may roll back onto the island again.
