from the brand new 4th album from The Shires and I can also exclusively reveal

there will be a UK tour too starting on April 27th in Weymouth" - Bob
Harris BBC Radio 2 BBC Sounds
As with
all their albums ‘Good Years’ was recorded in the home of Country Music, Nashville.
It is a poignant project for Crissie and Ben now having made huge waves both on
home soil and across the pond as the first UK artists to win ‘Best
International Act’ at the prestigious CMAs.
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”.
Ben and Crissie will embark on a
UK tour in May 2020.
