About

Sheppard in Concert

Sheppard's uplifting, anthemic pop is full of heart, hooks and harmonies — and they bring it all to the stage with unmatched charm and energy. The sextet from Brisbane, Australia, were first a family affair between musical siblings Amy and George Sheppard. In 2009, Amy was enrolled in a music course and asked George to help with a song she wrote for an assignment. Over the next two years, the two kept experimenting with their sound, with George on piano and both on vocals. Soon enough, youngest sister Emma wanted in on the fun and offered up her skills on bass. The band quickly expanded from there, with rhythm guitarist Jay Bovino, lead guitarist Michael Butler and drummer Jared Tredly (replaced by Dean Gordon in 2013) joining the ranks.

In 2012, the six-piece dropped their first release, a self-titled EP. With a little help from family — this time Jay's brother — the EP made its way to TV host David Campbell, who invited the band to play on his show Mornings. This immediately brought them attention in their home country, which eventually spread internationally as they soon landed slots on festivals in the U.S. and U.K. It wasn't until 2013, though, that the EP's lead single, "Let Me Down Easy," hit the Australian charts and led to a nomination for an ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) Music Award and a World Music Award for World's Best Song and World's Best Video. 

Sheppard kept the hype going into 2014 with the release of their debut album, Bombs Away. Its lead single, the heart-pumping alt-pop anthem "Geronimo," scored them their first No. 1 hit in Australia and eventually made it on the charts in the U.S. and several other countries around the world. This lead to an ARIA win for Best Group, and a spot as opener for Meghan Trainor on her 2015 North American tour. They'd also go on to support Justin Bieber and Little Mix, before releasing their sophomore album, Watching the Sky, in 2018. The album topped the Australian charts and took them back out on the road for an extensive headlining tour.

    Sheppard gave a genuine polished performance

    by Jjess79 on 7/31/15The Basement - Columbus

    I saw Sheppard at The Basement in Columbus, Ohio. The venue is extremely small. There were maybe 60-80 fans there which made the experience that much more special. I was within 30 feet of the stage at all times. Lawson opened for them and put on a great show too. I would definitely put them on my "up and coming" talent list. Sheppard was great. Just great. It was obvious that they are an internationally recognized band that has experience in much larger venues and have achieved multi-platinum status. There stage performance and crowd interaction was amazing. They really made the show feel like it was was being performed just for you. They seemed as much a fan of their fans as the fans were of them. Every band member had a smile on their face for the whole show. If I'd known their show was going to be this good I would have bought tickets to see them again the next night in a bigger venue so I could have seen them make use of a bigger stage. I have some vids and pics of the show on instagram under jjess79. As I was uploading pics of the venue before the show Amy Sheppard was actually liking the pics backstage. That was pretty cool.

    Geronimo! and so much more!

    by Schwartzie78 on 7/27/15Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    I had been listening to Sheppard via Pandora and got to know and love their music! Their live show was fantastic! Energetic, engaging and great to dance and party along with. Great stage presence, musicianship and singing. Such a fun evening, at a great, intimate venue, so worth it! I hope they come through again!

    Good Old Fashioned Fun

    by Anonymouses on 7/27/15Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    Sheppard gave an amazing performance full of energy. They were outright fun and really connected with the audience. Unfortunately, some the Brighton Music Hall staff were a bit pushy and rude (barking at you to move faster and to get in line), which was a bit of a damper post-show.

    Sheppard was really good.

    by NG98 on 7/27/15Brighton Music Hall - Boston

    Sheppard was super good. The energy of the band, the songs, the way the tried to make the audience to sing along with them, it was really nice.
