John Vincent III

John Vincent III performs at La Maroquinerie in Paris on May 30, 2026. A folk singer-songwriter from Nashville, he crafts a spare indie-folk in which voice and guitar lead the way. Revealed by "Next To You," a track from his debut album Songs From the Valley, he became known for sincere songs rooted in classic folk and told from a human perspective. After taking a break to catch his breath and refocus, he returned in 2023 with Songs for the Canyon, co-produced with Tom Elmhirst at Electric Lady Studios—a record that broadens his palette without losing the emotional candor that runs through his writing.

On stage, John Vincent III cultivates intimacy: fingerpicked arpeggios, supple melodies and light arrangements that leave room for the lyrics to breathe. Between slow ballads and more expansive surges, his set draws on both albums and slides in recent songs that herald a forthcoming record in the works. An evening to rediscover stripped-down songwriting—built from confidences, roadside snapshots and choruses that linger without ever overdoing it.
