A native of Lubbock, Texas, Shires began playing violin around age ten, and by her teens was performing with former Bob Wills backing ensemble the Texas Playboys. She released her debut solo album, Being Brave, in 2005. After relocating to Nashville, Shires returned with both West Cross Timbers and Sew Your Heart with Wires. In 2011, she appeared as a musician in the film Country Strong and released another LP, Carrying Lightning. Her fifth full-length album, Down Fell the Doves, arrived in 2013, the same year she and Isbell were married. They welcomed their first child in 2015.
Shires made her Billboard debut with 2016's My Piece of Land, which landed on the rock, Americana, and independent albums charts. The following year, she earned further acclaim appearing alongside Isbell and the 400 Unit on their Grammy-winning album The Nashville Sound. In 2018, Shires contributed to John Prine's The Tree of Forgiveness and released the Dave Cobb-produced To the Sunset. The following year, she co-founded the Highwomen, appearing alongside bandmates Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, and Maren Morris on their eponymous debut. In 2020, Shires was back with Isbell and the 400 Unit for Reunions, which peaked at number nine on the Billboard 200. ~ Matt Collar
