Irish-born singer and songwriter Owen Dara brings a heartfelt and engaging live performance to close out the Covellite International Film Festival. Known for his warm stage presence, storytelling, and deep connection to the music of his homeland, Owen blends traditional Irish songs with original work that uplifts, inspires, and invites the audience in.

His songwriting has earned international recognition, with multiple original songs landing on the Academy Awards shortlist for Best Original Song in 2020. Whether performing in the U.S., Ireland, or beyond, Owen creates a live experience that feels both personal and timeless, filled with singalongs, humor, and moments that stay with you.

Adding to the evening, Jones Family Magic & Mentalism brings a captivating mix of sleight of hand, illusions, and mind-bending feats. Led by Sir James the Magnificent, Madame Azira, and Lord Alden Blackhand, their performances combine classic magic with theatrical flair, creating moments of wonder for audiences of all ages.

Together, this unique lineup offers the perfect close to the festival weekend — music, mystery, and a little bit of magic.
