TODD THIBAUD
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23  7:30 PM
Todd Thibaud is simply one of the finest performers in this, or frankly, any region of the country.

We should really call this show the Seth Rosenbloom Experience as you can feel Seth channeling Jimi Hendrix when he plays. He's an incredibly gifted player that "feels" blues music deep from within. He's gotten a ton of critical accolades for his style, originality and ability and he's really coming in to his own a songwriter. He hasn't been to the Shelter since the 2019 Boston Blues Challenge, (which he won, incidentally) and he has a new album out written during the pandemic. This will be an unforgettable night of electrifying, gut-level blues music!!
