At only twenty-one years old the Ferns, Co Wexford native has been on the country music scene for the last few years and is certainly making a great name for herself. Following a very successful year in 2022 in which she released her debut album Where I Belong, toured with Dominic Kirwan, and performed with many other artists such as Derek Ryan, Robert Mizzell, and Daniel O Donnell along with a number of TV appearances including 'Opry Le Daniel' Stacey's popularity continues to grow across the country and overseas with a very busy 2023 schedule.
It’s been a long road for the Garryhill, County Carlow born artist who first developed his lifelong love for music when his parents bought a drum kit one Christmas for a four-year-old Derek!
The roll call of success for the multi-talented Irish man is long and much deserved – with two Irish Number One albums, sell-out shows at home and abroad, and fistfuls of music awards to his name.
Dozens of artists including evergreen multi-million-selling star, Daniel O’Donnell underlined the industry-wide admiration for Derek’s songwriting talents by recording versions of God’s Plan. Since then, with a combination of terrific talent, admirable determination, and a continuous desire to do better, Derek’s career has kept on reaching progressively greater heights.
He has won countless accolades including Entertainer Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Best Live Performer. But he is perhaps proudest of the award-winning recognition for his songwriting abilities at the Sunday World and Irish Country Music Awards.
Neon River is Ireland’s newest 4-piece American Country band, bringing a live and loud experience with a Nashville-inspired sound. Playing hits from George Strait, Dwight Yoakam, Alan Jackson, Johnny Cash, and more, they deliver a night like no other. So if you like twanging Telecaster guitars and scootin’ boogie, Neon River are the cowboys you’ve been waiting for.
Neon River formed in April 2022. Ryan McTernan (Tinahely) and Danny Beton (Baltinglass) met on Facebook after Ryan posted an ad looking for “outlaws” to start a hard-hitting American Country band. The two came together over a love for guitar, American Country music, as well as shared Country heroes and artists. Both lads have been playing guitar for close to 20 years each and have been musicians for most of their lives, playing across different genres and bands. Over the following months, Ryan and Danny rehearsed every week together, building their shared vision of something they felt the Irish Country Scene was missing — a fast-paced, electrifying American Country band. No backing tracks, no gimmicks, just great Country music.
