En Bref is a Canadian folk-rock musical group.[1] Based in Sudbury and North Bay, Ontario, the band consists of vocalist and guitarist Yves Doyon, guitarist Martin Laforest, bassist Scott Aultman and drummer Shawn Sasyniuk.[2]

Formed in 1992,[3] the band performed locally in Northern Ontario, and at francophone music festivals in Ottawa, Montreal and Winnipeg,[3] and won the La Brunante competition for emerging bands in 1994.[4]

They released their self-titled debut album in 1997.[5] They attracted some attention from major record labels, but due to management problems were not signed and broke up for a number of years.[6] In the mid-2000s, they reunited to perform occasional live shows, and independently released a live album recorded at Sudbury's Little Montreal bar in 2012.[6]

Their second studio album, Silence Radio, was released in 2014.[7] The album was promoted with live performances at both Sudbury's La Nuit sur l'étang and Ottawa's Festival Franco-Ontarien.[7]
