Belfast singer-songwriter Gareth Dunlop released his debut video for the beautiful track “Wrap Your Arms Around Me.” I haven’t heard much from him but I’m definitely going to check out more material! The song recently appeared in the film Safe Haven, garnering the singer-songwriter some exposure in the USA. Currently, Gareth is in the studio recording the follow up to his critically acclaimed EP, The Devil Mocks Me (Moraine Records / Priory Records).

“Gareth is a future American treasure from Ireland. With a special voice like his and songwriting prowess, I just knew we had to have one of his songs in a Relativity Media film and Safe Haven was the perfect vehicle,” says Jason Markey of Relativity Media and SVP Music & Soundtracks who included “Wrap Your Arms Around Me” in the Safe Haven film and original soundtrack.

Dunlop’s mesmerizing songwriting, poetic vulnerability, and the distinct soulful power of his vocals have garnered him worldwide recognition. BBC Radio Ulster says, “His songs communicate with a depth and wisdom beyond his years” and named him “One to Watch.” Gareth has spent the last year playing sold out shows in Northern Ireland. His newest release, and first video, is for “Wrap Your Arms Around Me” from Safe Haven, the film directed by Oscar-nominee Lasse Hallström and based on the best-selling novel by Nicholas Sparks. In the movie and on the soundtrack, he appears alongside Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, Amos Lee, Brandi Carlile, Ben Harper and more. Gareth’s finely crafted songs have also been featured in television shows such as House, Cougar Town, Private Practice, Army Wives, as well as commercials for Subaru and Discover Ireland. Gareth has shared the stage with such diverse artists as Van Morrison, Jeff Beck, the Stereophonics, Snow Patrol, Nanci Griffith and The Steeldrivers.
