Philippe Hervouët Guitarist Philippe Hervouët is a six-string prodigy with a warm, unique singing voice, a master of his craft. His lyrical melodies come from a place where past, present and future converge in his inner compositional framework. Drawing much of his inspiration from the music of Bretagne, he has developed an original style at the crossroads of pop and Celtic music, writing songs in both French and Breton. His captivating vocals and skillful guitar playing fit perfectly with Rachelle’s harmonica and voice, always in the service of the music.
