SXSW 2025: John Vincent III

Another Luck artist.  Apparently he's got a loyal following that sings all the words to his songs in concerts. According to this intro:

John Vincent III, an Americana artist, intensified his love of music in Houston, TX in 2014. Gaining inspiration from unique lyricists such as Bon Iver, The Districts and The Doors, John Vincent III began the process of his own song creation. John Vincent III effortlessly blends folky, rhythmic guitar with soulful, vulnerable lyricism to create a the perfect Americana-Pop blend.

He was born in Houston, spent some time in Nashville but apparently is now in L.A. after living the van life during the pandemic after his first album.  This article has a good background on his success after his first album and the 3 year hiatus that followed before his recent album.

I'd say a good modern comparison is Noah Kahan. The article above compares "Lincoln, NE" to Nick Drake. It's on his new album.  

"Next to You" was the breakout hit from his first album.

This was my favorite. It's pretty cool live (at the Troubadour) with the crowd singing, too.
