At Strule Arts Centre · Townhall Square, Omagh, Co. Tyrone, BT78 1BL
Louisiana-born country singer Robert Mizzell brings his Nashville Songbook show to the Strule Arts Centre in Omagh on Thursday, 17 September 2026. Mizzell has lived in Ireland for more than 25 years and built himself into one of the country’s most popular country music performers, voted Ireland’s Favourite Country Music Singer by RSVP magazine and the author of 15 studio albums. Nashville Songbook is his own tribute to the golden era of American country, running just over two hours with his full band.
The show works through material from country’s classic songwriters, with Mizzell naming George Jones, Merle Haggard, Dolly Parton and Alan Jackson among the artists whose songs feature across the set. It is built as a night of nostalgia and storytelling as much as a straight concert, with Mizzell talking through the background to individual songs between numbers rather than simply running through a setlist. His live reputation in Ireland rests on a warm, chatty stage manner and a strong touring band, and the Nashville Songbook format has been playing arts centres and theatres across Ireland and the UK through 2026. Expect a mixed-age crowd typical of country shows at the Strule, and a room that fills for touring country acts more reliably than for most other genres on the venue’s calendar.
