About
THEM GUYS BIO
THEM GUYS are an award-winning hard rock band from Vacherie, Louisiana, blending hard rock, alternative metal and post-grunge into a sound forged from influences including Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, Sevendust, Godsmack and Breaking Benjamin. Formed in 2019 as a Chevelle tribute project, the band shifted to original music during the pandemic and has since released four full-length albums: All A Dream, Insomnious, Delusions and 2025's Reborn.
Their 2023 album Delusions earned Rock Album of the Year at the 2024 Josie Music Awards in Nashville, helping push THEM GUYS beyond their Louisiana roots and deeper into the Gulf Coast rock scene. Known for combining heavy, melodic songwriting with a professionally produced live show, the band has continued expanding onto larger stages, including supporting Bush and Mammoth WVH at the 2026 Crawfish Music Festival.
THEM GUYS are Nick Oubre (vocals/rhythm guitar), Benjamin Kliebert (lead guitar), Ross Johnson (bass/backing vocals) and Chet Tabor (drums/backing vocals).
Nick Oubre - Lead Vocals/Rhythm Guitar
Nick has been active in the music scene for about 10 years now, however, he started writing and performing at a very young age. Although his first instrument is drums, he is widely known for his massive vocal range and his technical style of guitar playing. When you hear Nick belt out his insane screams, or when he tones it down for some melodic vocal patterns, there's no mistaking him for anyone else. He is truly one of a kind!!
Benjamin Kliebert - Lead Guitar
Ben is the newest member to the live team, however he has been a part of the team for a while! Starting out as our Lighting Tech, Ben knows the ends and outs to our music! Oh, did we mention he can SHRED on the guitar!?! Yeah, he's a beast for sure! Ben has been playing guitar for roughly 20 years, and has been a fan-favorite member for the THEM GUYS crew for a long while!
Ross Johnson - Bass/Backing Vocals
Ross has been an instrumental part of THEM GUYS for quite some time now. From producing the award-winning album "Delusions", to bringing the Deathstar (IYKYK) out to melt your faces, to building some of the most beautiful instruments you've ever seen, now he is stepping into the spotlight as the new Bassist! Ross has been an exceptional musician for over 40 years, and has actively proven time and time again why everything he touches is GOLDEN! Ross is sure to bring a new energy to the band that most of you are not prepared for.....but you know the old saying, you don't have to get ready if you stay ready!
Chet Tabor - Drums/Backing Vocals
Chet has a unique drumming style, and it stands out on each THEM GUYS song. Chet has been playing drums for 25+ years, and it is obvious in his performances. He plays with a level of energy beyond 11 on a guitar rig. You cannot mistake Chet for anyone else. He grabs onto a crowd and takes them along a journey all the way from start to finish. He is loud, and he likes it that way! (It's live music right?!?) He also carries a level of passion that is simply undeniable. You never question whether or not he loves what he is doing.
Pro A/V & Security
THEM GUYS are the musicians, but none of this would be possible without the genius that is Mr. Ross J Johnson himself. Ross is a world-class sound engineer, and brings a level of production that most bands dream. His expansive knowledge in audio equipment, his 30-40 years of music experience, and most importantly, his friendship make him the prime addition to THEM GUYS Production Team!
