Pépé et sa guitare

**Pépé et sa guitare** is the spirited solo project of Jean-François Pauzé, best known as a founding member and primary songwriter for Quebec’s beloved folk-rock band Les Cowboys Fringants. With a knack for witty storytelling and a knack for blending humor with sharp social commentary, Pépé’s music leans into stripped-down, acoustic-driven folk-rock vibes. His tracks, like the cheeky “Ta yeule pis joue” or the nostalgic “Motel Dolbeau,” often celebrate Quebecois culture, small-town life, and the absurdities of modern existence, all delivered with a twinkle in his eye and a gravelly charm in his voice.

Recent releases like “Le secret du bonheur” and “La mort du Rock’N’Roll” showcase his signature mix of catchy melodies and tongue-in-cheek lyricism, while songs such as “Quand qu’la bière me pousse dins mains” lean into rowdy, pub-friendly singalongs. Whether he’s poking fun at life’s chaos or waxing poetic about roadside motels, Pépé et sa guitare remains a down-to-earth voice for Quebec’s everyday rebels and dreamers.
