Irish country heartthrob Nathan Carter may have been born in Liverpool, UK, but was destined to become an Irish Country icon thanks to the Northern Irish heritage of his parents. Since the release of his critically acclaimed debut album Starting Out in 2007, Nathan and his accordion have spearheaded the rise in popularity for traditional and country music heralding from the Emerald Isle in recent years, as well as simultaneously becoming one of the biggest names on the contemporary Irish music scene.
