MULTI-PLATINUM, GENRE-DEFYING ARTIST & SONGWRITER SHY CARTER TO RETURN TO THE UK THIS MONTH TO PLAY TWO FESTIVAL SHOWS.
Critically acclaimed Warner Music Nashville artist, songwriter and producer Shy Carter will return to the UK this month to play two festival shows: Nashville Meets London on 24 August and The Long Road Festival on 27 August, which follow his breakthrough appearance as a standout artist at the C2C: Country to Country festival in March, with Maverick Magazine remarking that Shy âknew how to work the stage and his energy was infectious.â
Carter, who recently celebrated a personal career milestone with his debut at the Grand Ole Opry, released the grand piano version of âHardâ in May, recorded live at his home studio in Nashville. Written by Shy with Nathan Chapman and Bryan Simpson, the track was originally released as an Amazon Original for the groundbreaking Amazon Music documentary For Love & Country which he was also featured in, examining country music through the personal stories of a new generation of Black artists .
The song is taken from Shyâs debut EP as a recording artist, The Rest Of Us, released in November 2021, which features âGood Loveâ (12m+ global streams to date) - a statement of âbroad, breezy optimismâ according to NPR, as well as his latest music video, âHurryâ, and the MusicRow-described âbarroom bangerâ called âBeer With My Friendsâ (feat. Cole Swindell and David Lee Murphy).
Speaking on his return to the UK, Carter commented: âIâm so excited to go back to Europe! They showed me so much love last time I was in the UK. They really appreciate the music over there. Weâre also going to Germany with the great Lindsey Ell, and we are going to tear the stage up â yâall get ready! Iâve never been to Germany before, but I canât wait bring that âGood Love.â I know itâs going to be so much fun, and Iâm looking forward to meeting some great new friends. Letâs go!â
A sought-after and in-demand songwriter and producer, Shyâs credits include Charlie Puthâs âOne Call Away,â Meghan Trainorâs âMr Almostâ, Keith Urbanâs âNever Cominâ Downâ, âMy Waveâ and âGod Whispered Your Nameâ, Sugarlandâs âStuck Like Glueâ, and several songs for Kane Brown, including the multi-week US #1 hit âHeavenâ. Ahead of his appearances in the UK, Carter will join Lindsay Ell for three shows in Germany, playing in Munich, Cologne and Isernhagen.
