His recent radio singles, including God Bless the Farmer and The Waltz of Life, have helped build an ever-growing following, with the singer amassing a large fan base across social media.

David and his special guests promise a night of great music, ballads and a few surprises along the way.

David’s rise through the country music ranks has been remarkable, with his partnership with singer-songwriter John Farry opening up new opportunities and ventures.

John has previously spoken about his desire to support and mentor the young singer as he develops his career.

“I have been very impressed with David in terms of how he has matured as an artist over the past couple of years,” he said.

“Having seen him at a few shows, he seemed to be developing well.

“There seems to be a big leaning towards songwriting now.

“I can see that David can grow in that field and I’m trying to mentor him as best as I can.”

With David’s growing reputation and a strong line-up of special guests, his return to the stage promises to be another special night of Irish country music.

He plays Harvey’s Point on September 30, October 7 and 14; then in the Abbey Hotel on October 16; the Balor Arts Theatre in Ballybofey on October 18; and back in Harvey’s Point on October 28.

Donegal country star David James is set to play gigs at Harvey’s Point, the Abbey Hotel, and the Balor Arts Theatre.

David is coming straight from his success at the Rose of Tralee.

This year’s final had twice the excitement for Donegal viewers as singer David was chosen to perform the famous ballad The Rose of Tralee.

The 28-year-old country singer has enjoyed his rise to stardom in recent years.

His musical journey began at the young age of 14 when he was gifted speakers and a microphone.

Following this, David began gigging in local pubs across Donegal and Derry.

People around Donegal will recognise David from his role with Highland Radio where he’s worked as a full time presenter since he was 19 years-old.

After the winner of the 2026 competition was announced at the Kerry Sports Academy, David took to the stage to end the 66th Rose of Tralee on a high.
