The Shires have announced an intimate duo acoustic tour for 2024 including a Manchester gig. The duo, the UK’s biggest country music export, will headline at Manchester’s RNCM Theatre.
The Manchester gig is one of 18 UK dates they have announced.
The tour will find Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes performing tracks from their back catalogue, amassed during a career which has included three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four #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. UK success quickly lead to US success with CMA Awards and adoption by the Nashville scene.
