Raised on the outskirts of Glasgow with roots in Cork, Leitrim, Donegal and South Armagh, Stiofán Ó Treabhair - “Stefan O’Trower” - is a fusion vocalist, guitarist and bouzoukist reinterpreting Irish and Scottish folk traditions.

A descendant of the Clann an Bháird, Stiofán's youth was immersed in traditional song by his ballad singer grandfather. Having studied with Celtic fingerstyle master Tony McManus in recent years, his fluid guitar arrangements are imbued with dynamics & flourishes drawn from the wells of Paul Brady, Dick Gaughan and Dougie MacLean. The honesty and intimacy of his distinctive tenor has drawn comparisons to shades of Jeff Buckley and Mike Scott. His indebtedness to Irish bouzouki pioneers Alec Finn and Andy Irvine is unmistakable.

Emerging from the fertile Yorkshire folk scene that has launched the careers of Chris Brain, Owen Spafford and Katie Spencer, his debut album with acclaimed producers & engineers Tom Orrell and Tim Hay will be released in Spring 2025.
