Pierre Stéphan is a Breton fiddler at the crossroads—renowned for a style that’s technical, lyrical, and deeply rooted in the living tradition of folk music.
Born in 1980, with the violin in his hands since childhood, Pierre grew up crossing musical borders: fest-noz to jazz, world music to electro. A tightrope musician, he can slip from a gypsy waltz to a Breton gavotte, from a rock riff to a soaring jazz line—always keeping the emotion alive.
A founding member of The Celtic Social Club, Pierre has been there from day one, embodying the living bridge between tradition and creation. On stage, his violin is more than an instrument—it’s a voice. Sometimes melodic, sometimes rhythmic, it colors the songs with subtle shades and fuels the band’s Celtic groove. His presence is magnetic, making him a cornerstone of the group’s live energy for over a decade.
Based in Brittany, Pierre also runs a busy life as a stage and studio musician, collaborating with acts like Hiks, Startijenn, Jacques Pellen, and Les Tambours du Bronx, while pushing his own solo projects. He’s also a passionate keeper and transmitter of folk traditions, blending respect for the past with the hunger to reinvent.
Curious, instinctive, and generous, Pierre Stéphan has become one of the most sought-after fiddlers on today’s folk scene. With The Celtic Social Club, he keeps forging a unique path between Celtic roots and modern soundscapes.
