Her upcoming album, Blackberry Path, due for release in Autumn 2026, blends acoustic and electronic textures with transcendent vocals, synths, strings, guitars and beats, creating compelling soundscapes that explore the space between shadows and sunlight through story-driven lyrics and a fresh take on contemporary folk. Produced by Michael Mormecha of Tree Song Studios and featuring Irish-Filipino musician Clare Galway, Blackberry Path has been described by Hot Press as music that “bridges folk, rock and electronica.” Singles from the album have already received support from Chordblossom, GoldenPlec, BBC Radio Ulster and RTÉ’s Folk on One. The critically acclaimed Blackberry Path live performance has featured at National Heritage Week, EastSide Arts, Sound of Belfast and Leid and Lairn Festivals, and the Lisburn Fleadh Fringe. For this performance, Tia Bow will be joined on stage by Clare Galway, bringing the songs of Blackberry Path to life through their distinctive combination of voice, acoustic and electronic textures. “A unique artist, deeply in touch with the landscape around her.” — Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh, RTÉ’s Folk on One “Blackberry Path is richer for weaving personal story with universal experiences. It is inspired by specific places and human connection, and speaks to everyone on its journey.” — Allan Leonard, Slugger O'Toole www.fionnualafagan.co.uk/tiabow Instagram @tiabowmusic Clare Galway Clare Galway is a Belfast-born multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and choir leaderfrom Northern Ireland.
