Shelly Fairchild – UK Tour 2026

Shelly Fairchild – Sacred Southern Daughter UK Tour 2026

After a decade away from the studio, Shelly Fairchild returns with Sacred Southern Daughter, released this June, marking a powerful new chapter in her career. A charting artist on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles and a proud pioneer for the LGBTQIA+ community in Nashville, Shelly has long been celebrated for her fearless authenticity and soulful storytelling. Her music blends gospel roots, country grit and Southern warmth, creating a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal. This summer, she brings that spirit to the UK for a series of intimate performances that promise heartfelt connection and unforgettable live energy. Each show offers a glimpse into the journey behind her new record — a reflection on heritage, identity and the enduring strength of the human voice.

Born in Mississippi, Fairchild’s musical upbringing brought her to Nashville, Tennessee, where she started writing and recording at 19 years old. She has toured with Martina McBride, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, and many more. Shelly has been featured as a background vocalist with Jason Aldean, Eric Church, Tanya Tucker, Melissa Etheridge, Terri Clark, Martina McBride and others. As a songwriter, her songs have been recorded by multiple artists including Little Big Town, Tanya Tucker, and Ty Herndon to name a few. Shelly is also a regular guest on The Grand Ole Opry.
