Northern Irish, Nashville-based country artist Gareth released new single ‘One That Got Away’ which debuted on the UK Country Radio Airplay Chart last week at #17. This is the opening song on his forthcoming debut album Halfway Home – out October 2nd and available to pre-order/save here.
Halfway Home is an album about living between two worlds: the place that raised you and the place you are chasing your dreams. Born in Ireland and now building a life in Nashville, Gareth shares the story of leaving home without ever really leaving it behind.
Across the project, he explores the emotional pull of family, memory and identity while pursuing a dream that requires sacrifice. His loved ones remain back home in Ireland, while Nashville becomes the city where ambition, heartbreak, growth and possibility all collide. That tension sits at the heart of the album: missing home while knowing you had to leave it, finding belonging in a new place while still carrying the old one with you.
Whilst he was in London last week, Gareth hosted an intimate listening party for select fans at Lil’ Nashville, where he previewed some of the forthcoming tracks. He will return to the UK in November for the Halfway Home Tour – a 16-date headline tour across the UK and Europe. Tickets are on sale now here.

Commenting on the single which he co-wrote, Gareth shared, “‘One That Got Away’ is a reminder to hold on to the people you love the most. Whether it’s a partner, friend, or family member, the song reminds us to stay close to the people who mean the most to us. Sonically, this feels like a perfect way to kick off my debut album and gives you a taste of what is to come
on it!”
He last graced a London stage nearly two decades ago, and many still talk about the storm he brought to the then-Hammersmith Apollo. I was lucky enough to catch him live in Dublin a few years back—the man entered the stage as if launching a rocket at a rodeo. Unapologetically loud, surprisingly funny, and always committed to his audience.
ABOUT GARETH:
Rising country artist Gareth is quickly making a name for himself with a sound that bridges the heart of Nashville and the soul of Northern Ireland. Born in the small town of Castlederg and raised on legends like George Jones and Hank Williams Jr., Gareth’s love of country music runs deep. After building a loyal fan base online through heartfelt cover songs, his breakout moment came with a stripped-down version of Noah Kahan’s “Stick Season,” which went viral and set the stage for an international career.
Now based in Nashville, Gareth’s original music has struck a chord with fans across the globe. His newest EP, Steal Your Thunder, captures the emotional depth and melodic strength that define his style, while his latest single “Shoulders I Stand On” showcases a confident new chapter—pairing honest songwriting with bold, modern production. Together, his growing catalog has helped him surpass 70 million global streams and earn a publishing deal with BMG. Gareth’s music has received widespread editorial support, landing placements on flagship playlists like New Boots and Today’s Country, and earning consistent airplay on Country Radio.
He’s cultivated a dedicated following of over one million fans across social media and spent Summer 2024 touring internationally. Headlining sold-out shows across the UK and Europe and performing at Belfast’s SSE Arena alongside Kip Moore. With a full-length project on the way and a packed tour schedule, Gareth is stepping confidently into the spotlight bringing a fresh voice and global perspective to country music’s next chapter.
