Happy Birthday to today’s country music birthday(s)!

• Jimmy Fortune

We had a chance to catch part of T.G. Sheppard‘s set on the Durango Music Spot Stage last week during the 2015 CMA Music Festival, so we can say from first hand experience that you’ll want to catch one of his shows if this tour is coming to a town near you.  With a catalog that features 21 #1 hits, his set list is sure to be a good one.

“I’m always amazed at the number of fans that are still coming to my shows after all these years, and I am thankful for their support,” said Sheppard. “Country music fans are some of the most loyal people in the world, and it’s my job to make sure they’re entertained night after night and that, when they leave my show, they’ve seen something special.”
