LONDON, U.K. – (2 May, 2025) – Northern Ireland’s Gareth has today released his latest EP Steal Your Thunder (May 2) – available to listen here. The 5 track EP contains two unreleased songs – the title track and ‘Time Don’t Wait’ – alongside the already released ‘Last Thing I Do’, ‘Quiet In This House’ and ‘Last Thing I Do’.
Gareth said of the EP, “‘Steal Your Thunder’ is an introduction of myself to the world. These songs are written and recorded with some of my best friends in Nashville. It shares stories of my life, my family, and my recent move across the world. I am thankful for all the support and feel incredibly lucky to do this as a career. I hope you can connect with these songs and learn a little bit more about me as a person.”
Currently on his debut European tour, the Beyond The Backyard Tour saw Gareth performing in Cork, Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Manchester and London. He plays in Amsterdam this evening, followed by shows in Hamburg, Stockholm and Oslo – limited tickets are available here.
The 24-year old, who is gaining immense traction for blending his Irish roots with his love of country music, will also be joining Kip Moore on his UK and European tour as the special guest on all 15 dates.
Gareth, whom Holler has deemed a “fast-emerging artist,” most recently performed at C2C: Country To Country Festival in Berlin, Rotterdam and London, where he brought his mum out during ‘Quiet In This House’ – the song he wrote alongside GRAMMY winner Shay Mooney (Dan + Shay), and Tofer Brown about leaving home – social snippet available to view here.
Gareth’s debut EP Changing Seasons was released in October 2024, and his cover project Covers (From Across The Pond) includes his highly acclaimed and viral cover of Noah Kahan’s ‘Stick Season’, which he credits for kickstarting his career.
