About Sheppard (band) in brief
Sheppard is an Australian indie pop band from Brisbane, formed in 2009. Their debut studio album, Bombs Away, was released on 11 July 2014, and peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association. Their second single, \”Geronimo\”, spent three weeks at No.-1 on the ARIA Singles Chart. They were the halftime entertainment at the 2020 AFL Grand Final. The Sheppard siblings were born and grew up in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea to parents Greg and Linda Sheppard. The parents funded the group’s early career and established their own record label, Empire of Song. The group played at the Sonic Bang Festival in Bangkok on 24 August 2013, sharing the roster with Placebo, Pitbull, Far East Movement, Jason Mraz, and Owl City. The band appeared at Sullivan Hall in New York City on 18 October for the 2013 CMJ Music Marathon. At the 2014 ARIA Music Awards, they were nominated for Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Independent Release, Best Pop Release, Song of the year, Producer of the Day, and Best Video.
They also performed and presented an award at that year’s ARIE Music Awards on 1 December 2013. By September that year, they had performed at festivals in South Africa, London and U.S. By 2012, their six-member line-up also included Emma on bass and backing vocals, Michael Butler on lead guitar, and Jared Tredly on drums. In 2011, Jay Bovino – George’s friend from Sydney – joined as the third songwriter and rhythm guitarist. All five tracks were produced by Stuart Stuart at Analog Heart Studios, and co-written by Amy, George & Bovinos. Sheppard’s second single was issued in February 2014 on Empire ofSongChugg Music. Its lead track, \”Let Me Down Easy\”, was nominated for Best Independent release at the ARia Music Awards of 2013. Its second track,\”Hold My Tongue\”, was issued as the group’s debut single in August but it did not reach the top 50. By that time, the band had enlisted Dean Gordon to replace Tredley on drummer.
