← Pitchfork Paris 2026

Tommy WÁ builds spacious, mid-tempo songs from fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft percussion, gospel warmth and a clear, honeyed tenor. Expect an intimate concert focused on storytelling, with the recent Hope Our Paths Cross EP bringing more solitary, reflective writing into his communal folk sound.
