FOUR SHILLINGS SHORT: 2026 – 2029 FINAL TOUR OF THE US

2025 was a monumental year for Four Shillings Short. Founded in 1985, it marks the 40th year of the band and the 30th year of the duo of Aodh Og and Christy.  As many of you know, we plan to eventually retire in Ireland and are going to begin next year looking for property there.

We love our life on the road and are going to do one FINAL TOUR OF THE US in 2026 - 2029 and hope to return to many of our favorite places in the US.
Here is a brief overview of our plans:

2026 - Western State and the Rockies: California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico & Arizona

2027 - 2029: The Heartlands, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Appalachia, Northeast, Southeast & Capitol Region, and the South
