Soul meets country... The Irish-born Stephen Maguire has been compared to Johnny Reid time after time with his edgy vocals, thought-provoking songwriting and commanding stage presence. "Stephen Maguire represents a great new generation of talent from N. Ireland, following in the footsteps of Snow Patrol, Ian Archer, Brian Kennedy and Foy Vance." George Jones, UTV's U105 Radio (Ireland) “There is a sincerity about Stephen in his performances. In just a short while, he has lit up our entertainment scene. While that completely captivating accent always reminds us that he is from Ireland, we are lucky here in Canada to be able to adopt him as our own." Colleen Wilson – Global TV (Canada) Recent highlights include performing at the Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival opening for Grammy award winner Nanci Griffith, performing with Ivor Novello award winner John Reid (hit writer for Kelly Clarkson, Keith Urban and Rod Stewart); winning the Symphony Under the Sky Band Contest and opening for the Regina Symphony Orchestra; being the guest vocalist on Gemini winner Andrea Menard’s Canadian Christmas 'Sparkle' Tour; and supporting five-time Grammy winner B.J.
