Sheppard gave a genuine polished performance
by Jjess79 on 7/31/15The Basement - ColumbusI 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.
