THE SHIELS

About Me

The two founding members of The Sons of the Desert (version original!) in their minimalist duo format. The Shiels perform a repertoire of original compositions,traditional songs mainly from Ireland and America and occasional disrespectful covers.They have performed in India,Ireland,France,Portugal,Hong-Kong,Korea,England,Morocc o and beyond. They also have a bar in their native France ,where customers often catch them rehearsing when they're not serving drinks.The Shiels bar runs regular music nights,often featuring startling musical meetings between hosts and guests.Le duo fondateur des mythiques Sons Of The Desert revient avec un album en duo qui explore les racines de la musique populaire, dans leur format minimum. Leur répertoire mélange compositions originales, airs traditionnels principalement irlandais et nord-américains et quelques reprises irrespecteuses. Ewan et Tracy ont déjà joué en France, en Inde, au Portugal, à Hong-Kong, en Corée, en Angleterre et bien au-delà encore… Ils possèdent également un bar dans leur France natale où les clients les surprennent parfois à répéter quand ils ne sont pas en train de servir les boissons.
