Nashville-based duo Haley & Michaels (Shannon Haley and Ryan Michaels) will play their first ever UK shows this March as part of C2C Festival, following the release of their full-length album Hail Mary. They will perform multiple times across the weekend at the O2 Arena, including on the Town Square Stage, Big Entrance Stage and Icon Stage. Shannon Haley and Ryan Michaels grew up just three miles apart in California’s Bay Area, yet they did not meet until both had relocated to Nashville as up-and-coming singer/songwriters. The duo, who married in 2015 and were named an “Artist to Watch” by The Huffington Post and an “Artist You Need to Know” by Rolling Stone, co-wrote all 12 tracks on Hail Mary, released in November 2019 on Sony/ATV’s label imprint Hickory Records/RED Music. “Every moment we haven’t been on the road, we’ve spent recording, mixing and mastering these songs until they felt the way we envisioned the day we wrote them,” shares Haley & Michaels’ Shannon Haley. “We’re releasing a body of work we’ve spent our whole career creating,” adds Michaels. “This album has everything from the first song we ever wrote together to brand new music nobody has ever heard. The past year has been our most exciting and rewarding year both musically and personally, and we are especially excited to get to perform our music in the UK and experience all of the excitement that’s been happening with the country music scene.”
