The Shires announce Academy Dublin Date

Since releasing their debut album Brave in 2015, the talented duo, Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes, have been on a success high.

Paving the way for the British Country music movement, they are one of the bands warming the British population to the country music genre, inspired by US country artists.

Few have enjoyed success quite like The Shires who dominated the Glastonbury Festival, the Grand Ole Opry and saw their debut go Gold - the aim of every British artist.

Now they are recording their second album in the legendary recording studio Music City: Nashville, which has cut records for country stars Tim McGraw, Lady Antebellum and Carrie Underwood.

Their headline show at The Academy, Dublin on 16 November 2016 will see them to spread their love of country music to the people of Dublin.

Tickets will go on sale from Ticketmaster Friday, 22 July priced at €22.
