Derek Ryan

Derek Ryan's rise to become one of the biggest stars of Irish Country music has been phenomenal. In just over three 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.

Derek Ryan 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 theatre shows contain much of the music featured on his five albums including many of his own self-penned songs as well as many country classics.
