The Shires were not only the biggest-selling Country act in the UK in 2016 (including US artists), but have positioned themselves comfortably alongside more mainstream pop acts, being one of the biggest UK debut acts of any genre last year. The duo set the tone with their first album, ‘Brave’ in 2015, becoming the trailblazers of the UK Country music movement ,which has seen a sea change in the opinion of the British public, who have embraced the genre.
Fans will be glad to know they wont need to wait until 2017 to catch their favourite UK country group – as The Shires are currently on a sold-out winter tour of the UK, with a headline performance at 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on Sunday 11 December, set to bring this epic year to a close in style – see below for dates and further info.
