30 October 2009
Press release issued on behalf of Chimes International
Fresh from rocking The 2009 CMA Country Music Festival & UTV`s Countryfest, Colm Kirwan is set to return to Northern Ireland with a few Nashville friend`s for a once in a lifetime Nashville Showcase at Belfast Waterfront on Thursday 19 November.
The talented singer-songwriter and son of legendary Irish performer Dominic Kirwan, took centre stage at the CMA Country Music Festival as the only Irish performer in the International line-up, alongside legendary artists such as: Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Gretchen Wilson, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Leann Rimes, Wynonna, The Judd`s, The Bellamy Brothers and many more.
Colm thrilled the Nashville audiences with an electrifying full-throttle performance of material from his forthcoming new album written and recorded in Nashville including Country State of Mind, My Small Town, The Grass Is Always Greener, On The Other Side and Please Tell Me You Can Love Me Too. Announcing his arrival on the world Country music stage in style, Colm demonstrated an ease beyond his years with the huge crowd and gave a memorable power performance under Nashville`s Skyline.
Arguably one of Ireland`s most exciting male vocalists and song writing talents, Colm impressed Nashville`s music royalty with his easy going, approachable charisma and fearless willingness to take chances stepping outside the traditional lines of Country music with his own unique sound.
On stage with Colm for this unforgettable showcase at the Waterfront will be Joey & Rory - winners of America`s hit television show CMT`s Can You Duet, with performances from their Top-20 US chart hit album including the smash hit, Cheater Cheater.
Also performing will be Cathy-Anne McClintock, a rootsy singer/songwriter with a strong Bluegrass influence who went to No 2 in the UK Hotdisc chart with her first release, I Doubt If It Does To You and has just entered the same chart again with her latest release Crazy Bout You.
Other performers include Steven McClintock, an award winning singer/songwriter with over 400 hits to his name recorded by some of America`s biggest country stars including Andy Williams, Pat Boone, Victoria Shaw and The Nelsons and finally Julie Forester, who toured Europe as the lead in the musical based on the life of Eva Cassidy and is renowned for her soulful vocals and beautiful lyrics.
