Based in Ballina, Gerry Guthrie has been fronting his own country band for over a decade and has toured extensively throughout Ireland. In the preceding years he performed as a guitar player in several popular Irish bands and also pursued a successful solo career.

During recent years Gerry has received numerous prestigious accolades. In 2014 he was awarded the ‘Best Country Musician Award’ at the Sunday World Music Awards, and in 2015 was presented with the ‘Performer Of The Year Award’ at the Irish Farmers Journal Awards night.

He has released six studio albums and a number of promotional singles including ‘The Lucky Horseshoe’ and ‘Second Hand Heart’. 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 is now one of Ireland’s foremost headlining country acts, and he feels gratified for the success he has achieved with the help of radio presenters, the printed media, and not least his friends and fans. This enables him to perform at premier venues and big festivals and events right across the country and indeed in the UK, Scotland and at guest spots abroad.

We look forward to welcoming Gerry and his band to the 2025 Ballydehob Country Music festival.
