NI country cover band Diesel & Dust Celebrate 250 Years of American Independence with US Consulate Performance in Belfast
Northern Ireland country cover band Diesel & Dust are celebrating a memorable performance at the US Consulate’s Independence Day event in Belfast, where they entertained guests as part of commemorations honouring 250 years of American independence.
The event was the band’s second appearance at the Consulate for 4th of July celebrations. The return marks another high-profile performance for Diesel & Dust as they continue to bring live country music to audiences across Northern Ireland.
Founded by lead guitarist Nick Osbourne, Diesel & Dust bring a high-energy blend of country classics, 90s favourites and modern Nashville hits to audiences across Northern Ireland. Their live set is built around feel-good songs and dance floor favourites, with music from artists including Brooks & Dunn, Dwight Yoakam, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton and Brothers Osborne.
The band said the Consulate performance was a major highlight.
“It was a real privilege to be invited back to perform at the US Consulate in Belfast, especially for such a significant celebration,” said Nick Osbourne, founder and lead guitarist of Diesel & Dust. “The atmosphere was fantastic, the audience was brilliant, and we’ll remember this concert for a long time.”
Diesel & Dust are made up of George Jackson on lead vocals, Nick Osbourne on lead guitar, David Ewing on bass and backing vocals, Scott LaRiviere on keys, Dave Bayley on drums, and Ross Boreland on rhythm guitar.
Following their successful Consulate gig, Diesel & Dust will next perform at Rushmere Shopping Centre in Craigavon, Co. Antrim, on Saturday 8th August. The band will play from 2pm to 4pm as part of the shopping centre’s Country Month series of concerts, bringing their signature mix of country classics and modern hits to shoppers and country music fans.
Diesel & Dust are now available for music venues, private events, corporate celebrations, parties and country-themed nights across Northern Ireland and beyond.
