Nathan O’Regan: One-To-Watch For 2025
Nathan O’Regan made his mark on the world in 2024 with ‘Uncovered Vol. 1’, a debut that was as much a statement as it was an EP. This collection of reimagined songs celebrates Northern Irish songwriting with an authenticity that’s impossible to ignore. With transformative covers that showcase his bluesy vocal chops and subtle arrangements, O’Regan delivers a masterclass in vocal expression and proves his ability to reinterpret beloved local tracks.
O’Regan’s past role as curator of the ‘Songbook’ series in Belfast provided the perfect platform to highlight emerging talent, but with ‘Uncovered Vol. 1’, he pauses to reflect on the songs that have shaped his own journey. This EP is not only a tribute to Northern Ireland’s music scene but also marks a farewell to one chapter of his career before he steps fully into the spotlight as an artist to watch.
More than just a milestone for O’Regan, this EP honors the songwriters who have inspired him along the way. His vocal prowess, combined with his personal connection to each track, solidifies his place as one of 2024’s breakout stars. But this is only the beginning for the seasoned artist, who is set to delve deeper into his own style and songwriting in the year ahead. Featuring on the local label Zenith Cafe, home to talents like Gareth Dunlop, O’Regan is poised to make his mark and, ultimately, break through.
