Introducing Jeff Thibodeau

Hi!  My name is Jeff Thibodeau and I perform original and cover songs throughout the Cape Cod and Boston area in the rock/pop/funk/folk/blues music genres as a solo, duo or band act.

I work pri­mar­ily as lead singer, rhythm gui­tarist, harpist (harmonica), and occa­sional bassist and keyboardist.

I was trained in clas­si­cal piano as a child. In col­lege I bought my first gui­tar so I could carry my instru­ment with me and started writ­ing songs. Since then, I've con­tin­ued singing, songwriting and playing originals and covers with/for the following local professional musicians, bands and venues:

The Meaning Behind the Music

Music is a uni­ver­sal means of cel­e­brat­ing and sharing the magic of life.  At the simplest level, it just feels good to play, hear, and feel it.  It's pure enjoyment and we all love and appreciates it at some level.  Music is part of us.

On a deeper level, song is a voice of the soul that connects people with each other and the world. We "sing our song" when we fol­low our hearts and intuition, doing what we are meant to do, and being who we are meant to be with pas­sion. Like the end­less bird­song that cir­cles the earth with the breaking sun­rise, I wish for my music to be an ongoing, flowing expres­sion of what it is that gives me life, a reflection of who I am and how I expe­ri­ence the world. I wish that we may all find the music of our souls and sing our songs in har­mony with every­thing we are and do.

Some of the themes I work with in my song­writ­ing involve the fundamentally interdependent polar­i­ties of life..... pain and plea­sure, earth and heaven, body, and spirit, holding on and letting go..... It is in the bal­anced cen­ter-point of these oppo­sites that health, happiness, har­mony, and ful­fill­ment are found.  I believe that love is the essence of all things, and that every action and event has a divine purpose and meaning.  My lyrics carry a pos­i­tive mes­sage even when depict­ing a painfully human experi­ence and songs usu­ally emerge when I am feel­ing at one with myself and the world.
