About
SIMPLY SHANIA was busy battling jetlag as they traveled halfway around the world not once, but three times to entertain the U.S. Armed Forces stationed in Japan, Okinawa and South Korea.
In addition to those successful international tours, was an eye opening and suspense-filled journey to the Balkans Region where SIMPLY SHANIA was officially transported to various U.S. military camps in Kosovo and Macedonia for special concert performances, boosting the morale and spirits of the troops stationed in this dangerous and troubled part of the world. (Tours produced by AKA Productions) Closer to home, SIMPLY SHANIA has had the honor of opening for such Country Music Greats as George Jones and Tanya Tucker. Additional past performances include Universal Studios Orlando, Harrah's Phoenix Casino Resort, Nugget Casino Resort Sparks Nevada, New York City's Grand Central Terminal, San Antonio River Walk Arneson Theater, Galveston Moody Gardens Convention Center, Regal Empress Cruise and countless outdoor concerts at fairs and various summer concert series.

“Thanks for taking time to come entertain the soldiers here in Kosovo. It’s people like you that make the difference to the soldiers here.
