Owen Mac Irelands Shining Young Star

If you have been following this network of sites then you already know what an amazing singer/performer Owen McVeigh from Ireland is.  I’m sure you are also aware of his last Album which was an extraordinary hit and added to his already amazing five album releases. Owen, now 18 years old has accomplished what many in the entertainment industry struggle to do even at a much older age. Owen’s last album called ” How Beautiful Heaven Must Be ” now makes 6 studio albums for this extraordinary Irish Superstar. In addition, Owen has now accumulated over 60 Million social media views in the just the past 5 years.

A little History Recap:

Owen who comes from Coleraine, only started singing 6 years ago when he was just 12 years old. With no professional training, his main influence was his dad Dessie, who is also an excellent country singer in his own right and his 2 sisters Shauna 21 and Shannon 15 are both very supportive and share the love of country and gospel music. While his Mother Michelle may not sing, Owen shared the following:

“Mum has always had music playing in the house for as long as I can remember. Especially all the great old American Country legends like Ray Price, Gene Watson etc. I’m very lucky that I have such supportive, loving and encouraging parents and my 2 sisters are also fantastic. My dad sings and plays guitar too and we often sit at home singing together. I guess that’s when mum and dad noticed how much I loved music and that I had a talent to sing”.

It was a chance appearance in Coleraine at an outside broadcast of the BBC Radio Ulster Hugo Duncan show in 2015, that instantly showcased the young singer’s natural talent performing “God’s Plan” written by Derek Ryan. Of course, like many of you I was first introduced to Owen from his Mother’s posting a video of him sitting in their home singing a song called “My Mother”.  I knew instantly that this boy was going to become an international sensation. This video post led to his discovery by Irish Country Star Jimmy Buckley who shared Owen’s video and offered Owen an invitation to sing his song with him at his live show!

Since then, Owen has appeared on many tv shows including a Tv documentary ‘Keeping Er Country’ which followed the young star as he performed at shows, meeting fans, recording in the studio and even at home with him and the family.  Owen also has appeared on the TV3 Toy Show, The Ray Darcy Show, The Nolan Show, and Starting on Wednesday, February 24th, Owen will be embarking on a new TV segment “Owen Mac’s Country & Gospel” on the very popular TV show “Steve’s Country Showdown” Broadcast every Wednesday  at 8pm on Spotlight TV 365 & Freesat 516.

In August 2018  the young Irish star travelled to Canada to perform at 2 sell out solo shows. Then in 2019 Owen made his debut performance in the USA and plans were in place for an extensive tour of USA and Canada in 2020 but due to COVID-19 restrictions sadly was unable to go ahead and plans are currently in the pipeline to reschedule the tours.

Also in 2019 Owen toured  with Michael English and his band as his special guest. This again gave Owen valuable experience performing in front of large crowds.

Owen’s latest 12 track Gospel Album “How Beautiful Heaven Must Be” Was launched late 2020 and is available on his Website  along with all of Owen’s previous album releases

Owen has to date won numerous awards including “The Big Tom Inspiration Award” at The Hot Country Awards and “Best Male Newcomer Award” at The Northern Ireland Country Music Awards

Owens latest single release “Wake Up Dancing” written By Angie Russell, John Colgin & Garry is now available on iTunes and I’ve been told he will soon have a video release of this song.  Be watching for that to appear here very soon!
