Embarking on debut European headline tour next week – limited tickets available here
Northern Ireland’s Gareth has announced his forthcoming EP Steal Your Thunder is due out May 2nd – available to pre-add/pre-save here. The 5 track EP will contain two unreleased songs – the title track and ‘Time Don’t Wait’ – alongside the already released ‘Last Thing I Do’, ‘Quiet In This House’ and ‘Last Thing I Do’.
Gareth said of the upcoming release, “‘Steal Your Thunder’ is an introduction of myself to the world. These songs are written and recorded with some of my best friends in Nashville. It shares stories of my life, my family, and my recent move across the world. I am thankful for all the support and feel incredibly lucky to do this as a career. I hope you can connect with these songs and learn a little bit more about me as a person.”
