Northern Ireland’s viral sensation Gareth is having a breakout year in 2025. After signing a publishing deal with BMG, releasing critically acclaimed singles through Walk Off Entertainment, and performing across North America and the UK, he continues to build momentum. Fresh off his appearance at C2C London—where he performed at Countryline, The Wayside, and BBC Radio 2 Indigo Stages—Gareth has now released his heartfelt new single ‘Answered Prayer.' Read our recent interview with him here.
The song, which has already gained millions of views from an acoustic performance video on social media, holds a deeply personal message. Gareth describes it as a tribute to those who have provided support during difficult times, whether a family member, partner, or friend. “I’m really proud of this song and the message,” he shared. “I think everyone could use a song like this right now.”
Gareth’s rise in country music has been fueled by his ability to blend his Irish roots with authentic storytelling. The Castlederg native first made waves in 2024 with his viral cover of ‘Stick Season' by Noah Kahan, racking up over 25 million views and 15 million streams. His music has been featured on SiriusXM’s The Highway and Absolute Country Radio, and he has shared the stage with artists like Brett Young and The 502s.
Gareth is returning home this weekend for a surprise pop-up show at a local pub before heading out on a UK headlining tour this April and May. He will also join Kip Moore for a European tour in May and June.
