Country music fans are in for a treat as The Shires, the UK’s leading country music duo, bring their “The Two of Us” acoustic tour to Dewsbury Town Hall on May 30.
Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes, who have become prominent figures in the UK country scene, will offer fans a unique experience by performing stripped-down versions of their chart-topping hits. This intimate performance promises an up-close look at their powerful harmonies and heartfelt storytelling.
With over a decade of success, The Shires have firmly established themselves as trailblazers in UK country music. Their impressive accolades include three consecutive UK Top 3 albums, four #1 UK Country albums, two Gold-certified records, and more than 100 million streams. They have consistently sold out shows, including a memorable performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall.
The duo’s rise to fame was fueled by their breakthrough 2014 single “Nashville Grey Skies,” which helped define the UK country music movement. Since then, they’ve released a string of hit albums such as Brave, My Universe, Accidentally on Purpose, Good Years, and 10 Year Plan. Their authenticity and musical talent have also earned them recognition in Nashville, with two CMA Awards and tours alongside country legends like Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, and The Corrs.
