Hot For 2024 Irish Acts: Darren Kiely

Darren Kiely

The release of debut EP Lost and a sold-out homecoming tour were amongst 2023's highlights for this Millstreet native. After moving to New York in 2022, he worked an accounting job by day and performed in bars by night. He quickly grafted his way to filling venues in the Big Apple, before eventually moving down to music mecca Nashville. An accomplished trad musician, he's equally influenced by contemporary names like The Lumineers and Noah Kahan, resulting in a unique brand of folk-pop.
