Mariah in Nashville

Headfords mariah gets her big break in nashville

A HEADFORD singer who stole the nation’s heart with her performances on the Voice of Ireland earlier this year, has won her big break in the US where she has triumphed in a country music competition.
Mariah Butler, who has reverted to her childhood name Riah since she travelled to Nashville last month, won the All American Country Star finals on Sunday evening.
The 22-year-old from Ower took the plunge and booked a flight to the home of country music last May after her time on the Voice came to an end. She then spent the summer at home researching her options for cracking the music scene over there before travelling Stateside last month.
