Founded in 2022 by Elie and Dom, Moth Creek explores the roots of old American folk music through a repertoire that blends traditional music, newer tunes, and original compositions. Their universe unfolds between Old Time Music, born in the Appalachian Mountains, and Cajun-Creole music, developed in Louisiana.
Lively violin tunes, fiery waltzes, songs of love and breakups, tales of hope and despair, wisdom and adventure, not to mention the drinking refrains: Moth Creek offers a vibrant and authentic musical journey.
As every year, the Clefs House Band will delight campers with a beautiful August evening full of enthusiasm and improvisations, both musical and dance.

An educational workshop offered by the Herbe Bleue festival
Originally from Rennes and composed of Felix Masson (mandolin, flutes, singing), Michael Babaz (banjo) and Olivier Genel (guitar), this cheerful and close-knit group plays acoustic music of American origin, with Irish influences.
The three members met while traveling between Brittany and the Paris region and have been playing together informally for a decade. But it was in 2018 that the trio decided to reunite under its current name and explore the paths of Bluegrass, what they call their "Quest for Ultimate Speed," seeking out the tradition of this music among the elders as well as among instrumentalists of their age.
After a few years of hard work in shared accommodation, jams on tour, meetings and collaborations, the members found themselves playing in other similar formations but maintained with this group an exceptional alchemy and complicity.
To see them, listen to them, admire them, support them and applaud them :
