DONEGAL country music singer Lisa McHugh is off to the States – after an invite to appear at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
She has been invited by country music legend Gene Watson to appear as his guest at the venue on March 6.
Lisa was one of the star attractions at the recent All-Ireland Country Music Awards in Mullingar, where she picked up a gong for ‘Female Vocalist of the Year.’
Singer Daniel O’Donnell – who did a duet with Lisa in December – is delighted for the Donegal woman.
“Appearing at the Grand Ole Opry is a great thrill for any country singer at any stage of their career, but it must be really exciting for Lisa who is at the start of a very promising life as a singer,” said Daniel in a newspaper column.
Added Daniel: “I had the pleasure of recording a duet with Lisa called I’ll Be Home With Bells On and I think she’s just a fabulous young artist.”
* Lisa appears regularly on Hot Country on Sky TV Showcase channel 201 (Sun/Mon 8pm and Tues/Sat 2pm); and on Ireland West Music TV Sky Showcase channel 201 (Mon-Thurs 10-11pm).
