New Album coming in 2026!
Tia Bow marks a new chapter for Irish songwriter, Fionnuala Fagan-Thiébot. Moving away from songs rooted in oral histories, Tia Bow channels a deeply personal narrative, charting life's landmark moments as she steps between shadow and sunlight.
Her sound, a unique blend of folk and electronica, draws inspiration from trip-hop pioneers like Massive Attack and Portishead. This distinctive style will be showcased on her upcoming debut album, Blackberry Path, set for release in 2026. Produced by Michael Mormecha of Tree Song Studios, the album features his signature electronic beats, electric guitar, and percussion, alongside transcendent vocals, keys, synths and strings by Tia Bow and long-term musical collaborator Irish-Filipino musician, Clare Galway.
Supported by the CQAF Music Bursary and an ACNI Project Fund, Tia Bow's Folktronic style, blends electronic textures with powerful, story-driven songwriting.
NEW SINGLE RELEASE, TAKEN, BY TIA BOW
“I wrote, Taken, whilst working as a Creative Reminiscence Facilitator for c21 Theatre Company. The lyrics of the song are inspired by an important message from one care worker, the residents and my own experiences.” (Tia Bow)TIA B

Tia Bow Raw & Beautiful
I have begun sharing some raw Blackberry Path song snippets on my TIA BOW Instagram and Facebook pages, to include songs: Guardian, Blackberry Path and Siren. I filmed the first three using just my phone, capturing footage of me performing live in different rooms in my home. See below!
The next #tiabowrawandbeautiful instalments are performed in different meaningful Belfast locations and filmed by Will McConnell, to give a flavour not only of the Blackberry Path album songs, but also parts of Belfast close to my heart. For example, Blue and Gold, is filmed in 'The Botanic Inn', where I met my husband!
