The UK’s biggest country music export The Shires have announced an intimate acoustic tour for 2024.
The two of us tour will see Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes tour the length and breadth of the UK performing all their classic tracks.
The Shires achievements speak for themselves: three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four number 1 UK Country albums, 100 million+ streams, two Gold-certified records, and countless sold- out headline shows, including filling the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.
The Shires first broke through in 2014 with their single ‘Nashville Grey Skies’, a playful song about Britain needing its own country scene. And that’s something which they helped happen, starting with their 2015 debut Brave, which became the first ever Top 10 album by a UK country music artist. That success continued with a succession of hit albums: 2016’s My Universe, 2018’s Accidentally On Purpose, 2020’s Good Years and 2022’s 10 Year Plan.
Their authenticity saw them embraced by the Nashville scene immediately, leading to two CMA Awards, touring highlights including C2C Festival and shows as guests to Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, The Corrs and more.
Like all women who literally just celebrated their 35th birthday five years ago, Hayley Ellis is obsessed with true crime.
Sure, it’s not the most feminist of passions – but since when do we ever do what’s best for ourselves, however old we get?
Join Hayley as she navigates middle age – and as everyone agrees, the middle of anything is always the most delicious part (excluding Donuts, Avocados or plane seats), the joys of remaining (mostly) happily unmarried and the truly horrific journey of later-in-life contraception.Something for everyone.
As seen as tour support for Sarah Millican and Jason Manford.
