With their hearts in the Home Counties and their heads in Nashville, U.S.A., The Shires combine the best of both musical worlds on their eagerly anticipated debut album Brave. This combination has indeed struck a chord with the public, entering the charts at No. 10 on release, making The Shires the first British country band ever to hit the Top 10 of the Official U.K. Album Chart – a proud moment in music history. Now they have announced they are to tour this autumn, including a night at the O2 Academy in Liverpool on Monday 19th October.
