Originally from Paris, the group is composed of Michel Valy, Marc Hazon, Jérôme Guéguen, and Dominique Perrier.
Stone Age was formed in 1992 in Paris by three former members of the instrumental Breton group Gwendal:[1] Bassist Michel "Kervador" Valy, who had previously worked with Breton musician Alan Stivell, Canadian singer Robert Charlebois, as well as French singers Jean-Patrick Capdevielle and Philippe Lavil;[2] keyboardist Jérôme "Lach'ilaouët" Guéguen, who had collaborated with new-age composer Jean-Michel Jarre; and drummer Marc "Ponkallec" Hazon, who had played on Sheila's 1980 album, Pilote sur les ondes.
[1] Writing songs that incorporated elements of Celtic, primarily Breton music, with world and new age compositions, into a pop rock and electro sound, the group released their debut, self-titled album in 1994.
[1][5] In 1997, they issued their sophomore album, Les Chronovoyageurs, which also featured Woollacott on vocals, as well as other guest musicians, such as guitarist Patrick Rondat, hurdy-gurdy player Gilles Chabenat, and multi-instrumentalists Loïc Taillebrest and Robert Le Gall.
[6] After a fourteen-year hiatus, the band returned in 2021 with the announcement of a fifth studio album, titled Bubry Road, which was released the following year.
