Peter McPoland

Peter McPoland arrives in Paris on March 20, 2026, at Backstage & O'Sullivans By The Mill Paris. An American singer-songwriter, he moves between indie pop and modern folk, with a direct songwriting style and melodies that get straight to the point. With his guitar slung over his shoulder, he plays on contrasts: restrained verses, opening choruses, and small rises in intensity that allow the voice to take center stage. You hear fragments of everyday life, unraveling memories, and intersecting roads, all driven by a clear, unadorned energy.

On stage, Peter McPoland favors immediacy. Songs flow without overload, letting the grain of his voice and the band’s dynamics stand out. The arrangements remain close to the bone, ranging from bright arpeggios to dry drums and forward-pushing bass lines. It’s writing designed for live performance, one that uses silence as much as impact.

For the March 20, 2026 concert, he will present his recent material alongside tracks already embraced by his audience. It’s an occasion that highlights a US songwriter on the rise, in the intimate setting of Backstage & O'Sullivans By The Mill Paris.
