Since forming in 2013, Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes have taken the world by storm with their refreshing twist on the American-born genre, performing at Glastonbury (in a headline slot), London’s O2 Arena and Nashville’s Grand Old Opry.
On television, they’ve played on the likes of Graham Norton, the BBC Music Awards, and Children in Need. In 2015, The Shires were the biggest-selling country act in the UK, with their debut album Brave selling 150,000 albums worldwide. Their latest album, My Universe, has since gone on to sell 70,000 albums globally.
