JAY BUCHANAN ANNOUCES PARIS SHOW!

JAY BUCHANAN ANNOUNCES LONDON and PARIS shows  to CELEBRATE release of forthcoming new album  “Weapons Of Beauty” out Feb 6th Buchanan will play London, The Lower Third, Monday February 23 and Paris, Les Étoiles, Wednesday February 25

Hot on the heels of the release of his debut solo album Weapons Of Beauty(out February 6, 2026), Jay Buchanan, frontman of Grammy-nominated rock band Rival Sons, will play some special intimate shows including London and Paris to celebrate the release of the album.

Jay Buchanan is a vocalist, songwriter and performer of rare intensity — a preacher-voiced storyteller whose live performances feel less like concerts and more like communal reckonings. Buchanan has spent over a decade commanding the world’s biggest stages with Rival Sons, wielding a voice that can roar like thunder or fall to a near-whisper. These shows promise to linger long after the lights go down.

Last year, Buchanan previewed material from Weapons Of Beautyin two sold-out shows in London and Paris. Those lucky enough to be in the room witnessed a deeply personal artistic journey: Buchanan stepping away from the safety of Rival Sons and into his own romantic desert wilderness. By his own admission to the rapt London audience, “So you all know, there’s going to be quite a few slow songs tonight. Whatever you’ve come here for, I’m going to take my time.”

Buchanan’s live presence is magnetic and unvarnished. Whether standing alone with a guitar or fronting a full band, he draws audiences into an intimate space — one where vulnerability is not just allowed, but demanded. His voice, steeped in gospel, soul and American roots music, moves effortlessly between grit and grace, embodying both the rock star and the singer-songwriter in the same breath.

Buchanan recently released new single “True Black” listen HERE and watch the visualizer HERE. The track is the latest unveiled from Buchanan’s anticipated debut solo album, Weapons of Beauty, out February 6 on Sacred Tongue Records via Thirty Tigers. The album will be available in a variety of formats, including limited-edition autographed color vinyl and CD, exclusively through Sacred Tongue / Second Sun. Pre-save/pre-order HERE.

Last year Buchanan appeared in the acclaimed biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, portraying the frontman of the Stone Pony house band alongside Jeremy Allen-White. He features on three tracks from the film’s soundtrack, and following Jay’s movie debut, the film’s director Scott Cooper, went on to sequence Weapons Of Beauty, enhancing the album’s narrative flow and cinematic pacing.

Beyond his own work, Buchanan is a respected collaborator, having shared stages and studios with artists including The Bloody Beetroots, Brandi Carlile, Barry Gibb, Miranda Lambert, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Massive Attack and Jason Isbell.

Weapons Of Beautymarks Buchanan’s tenth album with nine-time GRAMMY-winning producer Dave Cobb, continuing one of modern rock’s most enduring creative partnerships. Cobb reflects: “I think this record is like seeing into the heart of Jay — no filter, no noise, just pure raw emotion.”

To support the album’s release, Buchanan will embark on a short run of special shows:

Nashville, Basement East, Tuesday February 17
London, The Lower Third, Monday February 23
Paris, Les Étoiles, Wednesday February 25

Tickets go on sale for Paris and London shows tomorrow, Friday 23rd January.
