ABOUT 


Theo Cormier is a french guitarist, arranger and composer. He has worked as a sideman for various artists including  the french songwriter Elias Dris, "Rising star of american folk music in France" according to the magazine "Les Inrockuptibles".  They have been touring all over France for almost a decade.


Theo provided educational content for Guitar Part Magazine and Guitare Extreme Magazine between 2018 and 2021.


He is also a teacher and provides masterclasses.


He is now a Dunlop/MXR/Way Huge artist.

Theo began learning guitar at the age of 15. Initially self-taught, he pursued formal training after earning his baccalaureate at the Centre de Formation Professionnelle de Musique de Paris (CFPM) and then at the Music Academy International in Nancy. 

A slide guitar specialist, Theo developed his craft by immersing himself in the music of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, and other progressive pop icons, as well as blues legends like the remarkable Derek Trucks. His deep love for musical experimentation, unique sounds, and harmony has led him to cultivate a distinctive, sensitive style. His playing is fluid and almost aquatic, with intricate melodies that stand out. Théo Cormier's recognizable touch has long enhanced the works of other artists in roles such as sideman, arranger, or even composer (Elias Dris, Morgane Imbeaud, Roxane Bizarre, Benzzi, and others).

With his live set "Pop Classics," Théo Cormier pays tribute to his greatest inspirations and, for the first time, reveals a more personal side. These are not just covers; they are his reinterpretations of the greatest hits in pop history. Allowing his soul to navigate through the complexities of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" or "Karma Police," he experiments and plays with passion and heart.
Theo also collaborates with many musicians, producing and arranging their compositions, or transcribing pieces into sheet music. He spent six years teaching at La Maison Des Sons, a music school located in the Réaumur-Sébastopol area in the heart of Paris. There, he provided guitar lessons to groups of 3 to 6 students and participated in summer workshops held in a villa in the south of France from mid-July to mid-August. Théo has also contributed educational articles to Guitare Xtreme and Guitar Part magazines.
