Hailing from a quaint town in Co. Cork, Ireland, Darren Kiely’s folk-infused pop sound originates from his inherited love of traditional Irish music, intertwined with modern influences such as The Lumineers and Noah Kahan. At just five years old, Darren learned the tin whistle, and at eight years old he picked up the fiddle, eventually teaching himself to play guitar as well. Darren began singing in 2019, quickly garnering attention for his raw and fervent vocals and emotive delivery. After winning numerous honors at a national level in Irish traditional music, Darren found his way to New York in 2022 to continue developing his own music and sound. Since then, he has entered Ireland’s top 50 viral charts on three separate occasions: with his debut single “How Could You Love Me,” followed by “Ella” and “Time To Leave.” The singer-songwriter recently added buzzworthy new track “Mom & Dad” to his repertoire, which debuted in the Top 40 on the Irish Singles Chart and also landed him in the Top 5 on the Irish Home Grown chart. With over 6.5 million total global streams under his belt and recent sold out shows at Rockwood Music Hall and Mercury Lounge in New York and The Basement in Nashville, Darren is set to bring his THE ROAD HOME TOUR to his home country of Ireland in November. With stops in Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick, the tour sold out the same day it went on sale.

Ben Goldsmith is a singer-songwriter from Long Island, NY with multidimensional artistry that transcends format and genre like so many of his favorite artists (SAM FENDER, OLIVIA RODRIGO, STEVE LACY, ZACH BRYAN, AND MAGGIE ROGERS). His musical journey started at 4 years old (where his violin teacher discovered he had perfect pitch) and has included jazz guitar studies at The Manhattan School of Music and Mannes College of Music in NY. Ben recorded an EP of original music at 11 years old and played all of the instruments. He developed a commanding onstage presence performing live in School of Rock programs, local community events, fairs and clubs by the time he was 12 years old. At 13 he perfected his guitar skills with TOMO FUJITA, whose teaching résumé includes BERKLEE COLLEGE OF MUSIC...and JOHN MAYER.
The covid years saw Ben traveling back and forth to Nashville to work on songwriting and create his own sound woodshedding in the studio with producer BRAD JONES. The result is a broad, melody driven and soulful musical palette. With a natural yet extraordinary gift for singing and songwriting and a passion for performing Ben is blazing his own Converse-paved trail.
