Kelly Thibodeaux

About the Artist
Kelly is a working musician (fiddle player) performing throughout the U.S. and Canada. As a musician, he has gone from mere appreciation of music and all of its sounds to a much more complex realization of music ans a powerful testimony in the human spirit and the wonders of the creative energies that it possesses. “It is the nature of the gift that I possess that not only requires me to share this with anyone and everyone, but also to pass it on, as it is truly a wonderful thing.” Kelly sees teaching the fiddle as yet another opportunity to do just that, to share and pass on the art of music. http://www.etouffee.com/
