Rianne Downey

Information

After years of busking and sharing covers on YouTube, the time has come for Rianne Downey to step into the spotlight with the release of her debut album, A Consequence of Love. The record showcases the Scottish rising star’s love of country music, with songs that explore love and loss, both romantic and familial and, on the soaring title track, the importance of putting herself first.

Rianne Downey is a Scottish singer-songwriter who began her musical journey at just 16. While attending Cardinal Newman High School, she was awarded the prestigious James McAvoy Scholarship to study at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow.

Now a true Scottish sensation, Downey has captured national attention through her collaboration with Paul Heaton of The Beautiful South, providing stunning vocals on his recent tour and winning over audiences across the UK.

Rooted in country and folk, Downey's album also weaves in unorthodox Celtic touches, giving it a distinctive and slightly off-beat charm. The beautiful sound mirrors Rianne’s own journey as an artist, a unique path that comes to life on stage, making this festival performance the perfect chance to experience her story and songs up close.
