Information - The Shires
Get ready, Ipswich! We are absolutely thrilled to share that the UK’s favourite country duo, The Shires, will be taking the stage at our very own Regent Theatre as part of their first full band UK tour in four years.
Ben Earle and Crissie Rhodes have been the trailblazers of the British country scene, and they are coming to town to celebrate the release of their joyous new album, Bonfire. Whether you’ve been a fan since day one or you’re just discovering the magic of modern country, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
A Night of Positivity and Escapism
The Shires have built an incredible reputation for their soulful harmonies and heartfelt songwriting. This new tour promises to be a real celebration, featuring a mix of the classic fan favourites we all know and love, alongside brand-new tracks from Bonfire.
The new album is all about togetherness and positivity—something we can all get behind! It’s the perfect excuse to grab your friends, head into the heart of Ipswich, and lose yourself in an evening of fantastic live music.
The Trailblazers of UK Country
It’s hard to overstate the impact Ben and Crissie have had on the music scene. Long before country music reached its current “golden age” of popularity here in the UK, The Shires were leading the way. They’ve maintained their spot at the forefront of the genre, and they couldn’t be happier to be back on the road with a full band to share their new stories with us.
