Derek chats to Miriam O’Callaghan on RTÉ Radio 1 about his recent time in Nashville, as he promotes his brand new Nashville-recorded EP. Said to be his most personal and creatively ambitious project to date. Written, recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee where Derek immersed himself in the city’s renowned songwriting culture, working with some of its most respected musicians including Nashville royalty and Grammy winning producer for Cody Johnson’s ‘Til You Can’t’, Trent Willmon.
The EP release also coincides with a busy summer schedule for Derek, including headline festival appearances and coming home from his sold-out ‘Beat in the Heat’ trip in Spain, with another bigger trip just announced for 2026. Having been inspired by his songwriting time in Nashville, Derek has also just announced his brand new acoustic “Derek Ryan: The Songwriter Show” tour, an intimate run of concerts across Ireland and the UK, where Derek will strip back his biggest hits and share the stories behind them. “These shows are a chance for me to connect with my fans in a really direct way. Just me, my guitar and the songs which have shaped my career to date,” Derek said
