John Vincent III

John Vincent III brings his understated indie folk to Glasgow on May 22, 2026 at King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut. Raised in Houston before moving to Los Angeles, he has shaped a set of songs built on fingerpicked guitars, close-mic vocals and unhurried tempos. His writing leans on intimacy and detail, tracing relationships, memory and the messy path into adulthood. On stage he plays solo or with a tight band, keeping arrangements lean: acoustic guitar up front, soft keys, sometimes strings, leaving space for melody and words.

Blue Boy (2019) laid the foundations with a warm, hushed sound and a stripped production that puts voice and guitar at the center. Songs for the Canyon (2023) opens the palette a little wider without losing that sense of proximity, bringing a bit more breadth while staying anchored in melody. Expect a set that moves between these records, reworked for the room, with quiet dynamics, gentle swells and the kind of songwriting that invites you in rather than pushes out. An evening for listeners who like their folk close to the bone, in a venue made for that kind of focus.
