Now based in Nashville, he returns to Europe next month for sixteen headline shows starting in Oslo, and ending in Killarney – full dates below.
An album about living between two worlds, while never really leaving home behind, Gareth describes Halfway Home as: “a culmination of the last two years of my life: moving away from home to chase a dream while being reminded of family, friends, and the place I come from. This project consists of the stories, emotions, and feelings from these years.”
Last weekend (Sept 26), he returned to the Grand Ole Opry stage following his historic debut in 2025, to perform songs from the new album, while also sharing an unreleased song for the first time, ‘How I’ll Remember You’, honouring his late Grandfather with an emotional tribute – watch the video here.
A co-writer on every song, alongside a multitude of talents from GRAMMY-winner Josh Osborne to GRAMMY-nominees Shy Carter and Zach Crowell, Gareth strove to maintain the authenticity throughout his songwriting: “I didn’t want to write what I thought people wanted to hear – I wanted to tell the truth. I wrote about the real feelings I’ve had growing up, leaving home, moving away, living on my own, missing people, chasing something I’ve dreamed about for a long time and still not totally knowing where I’m going. These songs helped me understand myself a little better… and I hope somewhere in here, it can help you understand what you’re feeling too.”

ABOUT GARETH:
Gareth makes the kind of country music that feels instantly familiar, even if his path to it was anything but.
Raised in Northern Ireland and now based in Nashville, his music carries pieces of both places with it. There is warmth in the way he writes, honesty in the way he sings, and a natural ability to make a song feel personal without overcomplicating it.
Millions of people first found Gareth through his covers online, but they stayed for the voice and the songs. What started with viral moments has grown into more than 175 million global streams and a community of over 2 million followers across platforms.
In 2025, Gareth stepped into the Grand Ole Opry circle for the first time, bringing a journey that began in Northern Ireland to one of country music’s most iconic stages.
Now, Gareth brings both sides of his story together on Halfway Home. The project captures the feeling of building a life somewhere new while still carrying a piece of home with you. More than anything, it feels like Gareth locking into a sound that is uniquely his own.
