Irish singer-songwriter Darren Kiely continues his breakout year with a stunning, stripped-down cover of The Killers’ anthem “When You Were Young,” performed live during the Amazon Music Livestream from The Ivors 2025. The intimate performance, aired on Amazon Music’s Twitch channel, showcases Kiely’s signature raw vocals and heartfelt delivery. Fans can now stream his exclusive Amazon Music Original version of the track.
Hot off the heels of his sold-out U.S. tour dates and recent singles “Mulcair Road” and “Old & Grey,” Kiely is quickly making his mark on the international stage. Hailing from a small town in Co. Cork, Ireland, and now based in Nashville, the folk-pop artist seamlessly blends traditional Irish roots with modern indie-folk influences, drawing comparisons to the likes of Noah Kahan and The Lumineers. With a packed festival season ahead, Darren Kiely is one to watch in 2025.
