On his first trip to New Orleans in 1978, Patrick Tevlin heard and met trumpet great Kid Thomas Valentine and promptly fell in love with the New Orleans style. Patrick leads groups performing in the Toronto area and around the world, including The Happy Pals New Orleans Party Orchestra and the Magnolia Brass Band, which performs regularly at the New Orleans French QuarterFestival. Patrick lives in Toronto, but his soul resides in NewOrleans.
