NYC-born, UK-based alternative-R&B singer/songwriter and producer Tomás Doncker is pleased to announce the release of his upcoming live EP ‘Alive In Paris’, due for release on July 24th 2026 via his label True Groove Records.
Recorded at the iconic New Morning in Paris while touring with Fun Lovin’ Criminals, ‘Alive In Paris’ captures Doncker and his band ‘The True Groove All Stars’ at their most electrifying, highlighting the energy, spontaneity, emotional depth and level of musicianship that have made him one of contemporary music’s most compelling live performers for decades
A prime mover within New York’s music, arts and cultural landscape for over four decades, Doncker first emerged in the early 1980s as part of the groundbreaking No Wave and Punk-Funk movements through his work with The Contortions and Defunkt. Since then, he has built an extraordinary career spanning international touring, songwriting and recording collaborations with artists including Bootsy Collins, Meshell Ndegeocello, Ivan Neville, The Specials and the legendary Patti Smith, whilst simultaneously helming his own band, The True Groove All-Stars; truly establishing himself as a cross-genre innovator without peer.
Doncker’s previous works have seen widespread critical acclaim. ‘Alive In Paris’ follows the release of February’s vibrant single ‘¡2 BEAUCOUP!’, which was written and recorded in Paris during a particularly memorable visit to the French capital. The trip saw Doncker not only support Fun Lovin’ Criminals, but also join Patti Smith on stage at the historic L’Olympia to perform a powerful rendition of ‘People Have The Power’ just days after recording his live EP.
