23 year old Marc Boudreau has just released his first CD entitled “Steppin’ it Up” and this young musician is doing just that. Boudreau began step dancing at a very young age and then took on the fiddle when he received it as a Christmas gift at the age of 8. He has since played in concert halls, festivals, ceilidhs with many fiddling icons including Natalie MacMaster, Ashley MacIsaac and Buddy MacMaster. This Cheticamp native has also had the opportunity to play with the Nova Scotia Symphony and was featured on the 1998 East Coast Music Awards at Ashley’s kitchen party which was televised by CBC. Boudreau also played for “Fiddles of the World” in Halifax in 1999. His passion lies in traditional fiddle tunes.
His new album features Dave MacIsaac on guitar, Joel Chiasson on piano and JP makes a guest appearance on mandolin for one of the tracks.
The creation of this album has been a wonderful experience for the young musician and he, along with all fans of the fiddle anxiously await his second album. Marc will be playing at the Barn Wednesday, July 9 with Shelley Campbell, Michael Hall and Joel Chiasson on piano. It will be a great opportunity to hear this young musician’s most recent works. Come join as at the Barn July 9 at 8pm. Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for students. Reserved Seating is extra.
