Rachelle Plas & Philippe Hervouët (France)

A virtuoso harmonica player and a singer with a soulful, smooth voice, Rachelle Plas takes you on a creative journey, blending virtuosity with sensuality.

 

She is the international ambassador for the "Golden Melody" Hohner harmonica, known for its velvety sound, precise play, and incredible dynamics.

 

Along with Philippe Hervouët, they formed the PLAS HERVOUËT BAND, performing across Europe and also in the United States (Tulsa, Oklahoma at the SPAH music convention, sponsored by Hohner).

 

Rachelle is also an ambassador for the organization Harmonica UK. In recognition of her services to music, she was awarded the DRSL (HONS) diploma by the Rockschool RSL Awards.

 

Rachelle's remarkable mature personality is also shaped by her previous career as a high-level athlete. In 2010, she was crowned vice-world champion in judo. In collaboration with Hohner, she offers shows titled "Harmonica with Rachelle PLAS," designed for young audiences.

 

Philippe Hervouët

A guitarist and singer with a warm, unique voice, Philippe is a six-string prodigy who captivates with his poetic melodies, where past, present, and future converge within the framework of his compositional art.

With an elegant personality and genuine kindness, he draws the sweetness of his strength from the magic of Celtic lands, with Brittany being the source of all his inspiration. A master of his craft, his voice's tone captivates, and his guitar velocity serves the music.

 

Philippe Hervouët develops an original style at the crossroads of pop and Celtic worlds, writing both French and Breton songs. His album "Mabden" took Philippe to numerous French stages, including the Festival Interceltique de Lorient, New Morning, Le Petit Journal, Maison de la Bretagne, Scène Bastille, and even headlining at the OLYMPIA in Paris in 2014. Philippe takes us on a journey with songs that are both smooth and wild, guitar-driven and melodic. A wave of Celtic and festive energy.
