“Nathan Carter (…) has brought country music to a whole new generation of fans!”
The Daily Record
A household name across Ireland, the 28-year-old Carter is now Ireland’s #1 live act. Born in Liverpool to Irish parents, the singer, piano, guitar and accordion player was first mentored by the Northern Irish songwriter John Farry, who helped him develop his signature sextet sound. Since his break-out in 2012 with Dylan’s “Wagon Wheel,” which ruled the Irish charts for 77 weeks and earned Carter a Gold Disc, Carter has achieved huge chart success with five albums, two singles and two music DVD’s all reaching #1 on the Irish music charts. His “Beautiful Life” album went 4-times platinum in Ireland. Winner of the RTÉ Irish Country Music Awards (Best Live Act and All-Time Favorite Country Song), Carter, who has sparked a jive-dance Renaissance in Ireland and the UK, was featured on a television special, Celtic Country, on PBS in 2018.

With Celtic Woman, and as a soloist subsequently, international sensation Chloë Agnew has performed to over 3 million fans worldwide, and has collaborated with the international stars Chris de Burgh; Selim Kagee; Italian tenor Alessandro Rinella and Glee! star Damian McGinty. A Best Female Vocalist winner at the Irish Music Awards, she is a frequent headliner of the Atlanta Pops Orchestra.
“His audience sang along with every song, word for word. Their enthusiasm for his performance had them dancing in the aisles.”
