Derek Ryan at Cork Opera House

Derek Ryan’s rise to become one of the biggest stars of Irish Country music has been phenomenal. In just over four years, few artists have made such an impact on the Irish country scene like the Co. Carlow singer-songwriter. Having played to sell-out concert audiences around the world with D-Side, the young heartthrob has brought a distinctive fresh sound to Irish country. He has become a sell-out artist in his homeland and has topped the Irish national charts and the UK iTunes country charts this year with his album ‘The Simple Things’. His show contains many of his popular hits as well as many country classics.
