Though born into the music, Kerry started playing publicly at the age of 14 with the band No Exit from 2005-2016. There he played the drums with a more rock-n-roll set. Around 2012, Kerry and his brother, Cody, started the band Drunk Punch Ponies where Kerry sang and played guitar. This country band played for about 5 years before Kerry started the Kerry Thibodaux Band! Now, Kerry can be found playing drums with the band or solo acoustic shows, doing a variety of country, rock, swamp pop, and original music!
DYLAN DELATTE LEAD GUITAR
Dylan Delatte aka "Choctaw" has been on the guitar from the get-go! Dylan has been playing with Kerry since the Drunk Punch Ponies days and brings 99% of the band's talent to each and every show. Dylan's career started with rock-n-roll music in the bands Khaos (2005-2006) and Vintage (2007-2014) and joined Kerry in Drunk Punch Ponies 'round 2014 and the two have been jelling ever since. Most recently, Dylan can be found shredding guitar with the Kerry Thibodaux Band. Dylan's bookoo talent and smooth playing is a joy to listen to every single time he straps on a guitar. So if you ever catch Kerry not singing and letting Dylan solo for 15 minutes straight, mind yo business.
MATTHEW RIVERE PIANO
Ole Matt Rivere. The newest bandmate and friend of Kerry, has been playing keys with the Kerry Thibodaux Band since the summer of 2019. Matt's positive energy, stage presence, and politician-like communication skills make him the LIFE of every party and every show. Not to mention the dude could PLAY the piano! Matt could also be found playing keys with many other local acts including Shorts in December (2019 - present) and Junior Lacrosse (2014 - present) and has played many shows with Brad Sapia and Ross Grisham over the years. It's no surprise Matt plays with so many bands being he makes every one of them so much better each time he steps behind those keys. Natural-born entertainer.
DALE THIBODAUX BASS/BACKING VOCALS
Dale aka Dad aka Dirty Dale is the backbone and foundation of the whole deal. Literally everything musical in Kerry's life has been because of him. Dale can be found cutting up on the drums or pumping the bass at all KTB shows. After many years of running sound for Kerry's bands, they finally let the "old guy" on stage to JAM and boy can Dale do that. His harmonic vocals are fire and a big part of what we do. Dale originally started playing music back in the day with his dad's band, and now is passing the torch on to Kerry. Cool thing to witness every show!
