About

The artist

Nicolas Pellerin et les Grands Hurleurs are a Québécois traditional-music ensemble based in Montréal. Founded around singer, violinist, and foot-percussionist Nicolas Pellerin, the current quartet also includes Simon Lepage on voice, bass, and double bass, Louis Thibault on voice, bouzouki, mandolin, and guitar, and Philippe Girard on voice and guitar. The group combines traditional song and dance forms with rock energy, acoustic groove, and arrangements shaped by the individual members' backgrounds. Its public catalog begins with Nicolas Pellerin et les Grands Hurleurs in 2009 and Petit grain d'or in 2011, followed by 3/4 fort, Chouïa, Ellipse, and Layon. Released in March 2024, Layon was recorded at Studio St-Paul and Studio Pantouf. The album documents group production by Nicolas Pellerin, Simon Lepage, and Tommy Gauthier, with mixing by Gauthier and mastering by Antoine Dufour. Current official pages document touring across Quebec, Canada, the United States, Europe, and Morocco. The 2024 album received an ADISQ nomination in the traditional-album category, and the Layon concert won the 2026 Prix Opus for Concert of the Year in Québécois Traditional Music. Earlier albums earned Félix awards in the traditional category. The group's provider catalog is split across two matching Spotify identities.
