Michael "SHEPP" Sheppard blends styles and influences from Richie Havens to King's X, and Dave Matthews to Seal!! "I love mixing rock, funk, and pop with acoustic and electric guitars, strong vocals, and a kick ass rhythm section."
In 1997 Michael (www.michael-sheppard.com) released his first solo album, Beneath It All. This gutsy Milesh Records/Adrenachrome Records, debut attracted national product endorsements and garnered impressive reviews and airplay on a variety of regional radio as they played the Mid-Atlantic extensively to support the release. In the spring of 2002, Milesh Records released the much anticipated second album, Ghost Of A Chance. Michael followed that with two solo records, Joyfully: A Christmas Wish in 2003, and Private Stock Vol. 1 hitting the streets in 2004! They continue a steady schedule throughout their territory as CD sales and venue attendance grows at consistent rates.
