Nashville-based singer songwriter Shelly Fairchild is trading Music City for Darlington with a show at The Forum Music Studios in August.
The gig is one of a small number of UK shows for the artist, who’s toured with acts such as Martina McBride, Keith Urban and Tim McGraw, and provided backing vocals for Cody Johnson, Eric Church, Melissa Etheridge, Martina McBride and more.
Shelly’s also written tracks cut by Little Big Town, Ashley McBryde and Tanya Tucker, and graced the hallowed stage of The Grand Ole Opry multiple times.
Her Darlington show, on Thursday, August 13, comes in the same month as the release of Fairchild’s first album in ten years, Sacred Southern Daughter.
Support on the night will come from Cambridge country act, Tennessee Twin.
Allison McKay, Chief Executive of The Forum Music Studios, said: “This is going to be a great night of original live music, all the way from Nashville. Shelly Fairchild has played with some of the greatest names on country, and on one of the most iconic stages of them all, The Grand Ole Orpy, so to see her here at The Forum is something we’re really excited about and not to be missed.”
Tickets are available from The Forum’s website.
