Ballina based singer Gerry Guthrie has been fronting his own five piece touring Band since 2010. During this time he has toured extensively throughout Ireland. Gerry’s success, on the country music scene in England and Scotland, has in a relatively short time made him a household name in the UK.
In the years preceding the launch of his own band, Gerry worked as a guitar player with several leading Irish artists including Country legends Sandy Kelly, Louise Morrissey, Martin Cuffe and Shawn Cuddy. He also pursued a hugely successful solo career, mainly in Connaught.
To date Gerry has released six studio albums and a number of promotional singles including ‘The Lucky Horseshoe’, which was written especially for him by his longtime friend and manager, Henry Mc Mahon. Other radio hits released by Gerry include ‘The Boxer’, ‘New Moon Over My Shoulder’, ‘Did She Mention My Name’, ‘Another Saturday Night’ and ‘The Doghouse’.
Gerry and his band will embark on their first Concert Tour later in 2024, and will be joined on stage by an array of Gerry’s musical friends including Kathy Durkin, Matt Leavy, Damian Davis, Carmel McLoughlin, and fellow Mayo singers Clodagh Togher and Mick Mulhern.
Gerry is looking forward to a very busy 2024, which will also include numerous tours to Europe with the various sun music holidays.
Gerry and the band will also be making a number of trips to Scotland in 2024 to headline “Countryfest” and “Gerry Guthrie & Friends”, both taking place in Aberdeen.
