Derek has just released his brand new single ‘It’s All Country’ – out last Friday 4th July, a symbolic release date which celebrates the song’s American country roots and influences which was written, recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee.
The new song release comes ahead of Derek’s highly anticipated EP, of the same name, which was all co-written and produced by acclaimed U.S. country hitmaker Trent Willmon, Grammy Award-winning producer of Cody Johnson’s “’Til You Can’t”— ‘It’s All Country’ delivers the unmistakable spirit of Nashville while staying true to Derek Ryan’s signature Irish country sound.
Speaking about the new song, Derek says, “This song is a celebration of where I come from and where I’m going. It’s country at its core, but still very much me. I’m excited for everyone to finally hear what I’ve been working on for so long when my new Nashville-recorded EP comes out soon.”
The music video of ‘It’s All Country’ has just premiered on Derek’s social media and shows a reflection of his time in the recording studio in Nashville.

In celebration of the EP and his contribution to over a decade working in Irish country music, Derek was invited to perform at Áras an Uachtaráin last Wednesday 2nd July, as part of the President of Ireland’s special event to celebrate Irish country music and the Irish entertainment sector.
The new song lands during a jam-packed summer for Derek, who is headlining festivals across Ireland and preparing to launch his brand new acoustic songwriter tour with dates in both Ireland and the UK. ‘Derek Ryan: the Songwriter Show’ is an intimate acoustic show for his fans performing all of his original songs and discussing the stories behind God’s Plan, Hold on to your Hat, Life Is A River and the Way I Am.
