Steph Strings at Le Marché Gare

At Le Marché Gare in Lyon, we are thrilled to welcome Steph Strings for a night that celebrates the tactile poetry of the guitar and the electricity of a performer whose reputation has grown organically from stage to stage, city to city. From the first strum, Steph’s music travels on open tunings, rippling harmonics, and percussive handwork that turns the instrument into both a melodic compass and a rhythmic engine. It’s a style that feels handcrafted for our room: intimate, detailed, and warm, letting every nuance breathe. As a venue dedicated to showcasing artists whose craft shines live, we are proud to host a musician whose storytelling unfolds as much through texture and dynamics as through melody. This date at Le Marché Gare situates Lyon on a broader international journey, and we look forward to sharing with our audience the kind of immersive, all-in performance that has made Steph a word-of-mouth favorite among guitar lovers and adventurous listeners alike.

An Evening on Our Stage

Our stage will be arranged to highlight Steph Strings’ fluid transitions between whispered, cinematic passages and spirited, percussive grooves. Expect a set that moves through atmospheric instrumentals, roots-inflected pieces, and richly layered arrangements where rhythm pulses from the guitar’s body and melody arcs across cascading harmonics. The acoustics at Le Marché Gare favor precision and warmth, so the delicate interplay of thumbed basslines, tapped patterns, and shimmering chord voicings will reach every corner of the room. The performance is designed to keep you close to the craft: you’ll hear the grain of the strings, the heartbeat of the music in each palm hit, the silent suspense just before a phrase blooms. Whether you come for the virtuosity, the meditative drift, or the infectious drive of a foot-stomped groove, this will be a concert that rewards close listening and open ears, inviting you into an intimate dialogue between artist, instrument, and space.

From our vantage point at Le Marché Gare, what makes this appearance especially timely is the creative momentum Steph Strings brings with her right now. Recent months have seen her refining new compositions on the road, shaping pieces that stretch her palette—blending elements of folk, blues, and global rhythms—while honoring the lyrical, image-rich approach that first drew audiences in. You can expect a setlist that weaves in fresh material alongside established favorites that longtime followers know from her live sessions, videos, and past releases. On stage, she often builds an emotional arc that feels like travel: windswept, coastal, and wide-eyed, with pieces that begin as quiet sketches before swelling into full-bodied soundscapes. We have prepared the room to support that narrative flow—subtle lighting, attentive sound design, and the space for her music to rise and recede naturally—so that every shift of tempo and tone carries the audience with it. Hosting Steph Strings at Le Marché Gare means giving her craftsmanship the space it deserves, and offering Lyon a chance to experience an artist in forward motion, bringing her latest ideas to life in the very moment of performance.
