The Shires Return With ‘New Year’, New Album & UK Tour

The UK’s best-selling country act The Shires today release a taster single ‘New Year’ from their eagerly awaited forthcoming album ‘Good Years’. ‘Good Years’ will be available as a limited edition red vinyl as well as on CD and streaming platforms.

The band’s new music coincides with the announcement of a UK tour (details below).

Speaking on the release of their latest single and the new album Crissie and Ben said; “We are so excited to be releasing ‘Good Years’, our 4th album recorded in Nashville and also announce our next UK tour!  Honesty and storytelling has always been such an important part of our songwriting. We’ve poured some of the incredible experiences and life we’ve lived into these songs. We can’t wait to hit the road next year and play these live across the country. The songs mean so much to us personally, but there really is nothing like looking out at our fans in the crowd and seeing how much of an impact they can have in someone else’s life. It’s truly a very special thing”.
