THOM SHEPHERD w/ COLEY McCABE

Thom Shepherd is an Austin-based touring artist. His recent single "Simplify" was a top 10 on both the Texas Regional Radio Report and the Texas Music Chart.

Most people are first introduced to Thom by one of the long list of songs that he has written, but were recorded and released by other artists. He is the writer of the #1 singles "Redneck Yacht Club", recorded by Craig Morgan, and "Riding with Private Malone" recorded by David Ball. He wrote the #1 Josh Abbott and Pat Green single, "My Texas." Kevin Fowler recorded two of Thom's songs, taking "Beer Season" to #1 for three weeks and "Cheaper To Keep Her" to #3 on the Texas Music Chart. He also wrote the GMA Canada Song and Video of the Year "A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)" and the title track of Tracy Lawrence's Grammy nominated album "The Rock".

His music has taken him on 9 tours performing for our military in 17 different countries. "As songwriters, we have no idea how our songs are going to affect people," says Thom, "I met a soldier in Qatar who was on leave from Baghdad, and he told me he joined the military because of Private Malone. He asked me how that made me feel and I said "Responsible!" Then when we went to get our picture taken, he showed me the shattered LCD screen of his digital camera - shattered because it was in his shirt pocket behind his flack jacket when he took a round from an AK47. That camera saved his life. That is powerful stuff."

He was born in St. Louis, Missouri and spent his high school and college years in Stephens City, Virginia. He is a graduate of George Mason University with a Film and television degree. He has written for 5 different music publishers in Nashville. He is a two time cancer survivor, a father of two, and co-owner of RedneckYachtClub.com, a website that sells merchandise relating to the song and the boating lifestyle.
