    Goode's Armadillo Palace presents Thom Shepherd.

    Many people are first introduced to singer/songwriter Thom Shepherd by one of the long list of songs that he has written, but were recorded and released by other artists. Kevin Fowler recorded two of Thom’s songs, taking “Beer Season” to #1 for three weeks and “Cheaper To Keep Her” into the Top 5 on the Texas Music Chart. He is the writer of the #1 singles, “Redneck Yacht Club”, recorded by Craig Morgan, “Riding with Private Malone” recorded by David Ball and he wrote the title track of Tracy Lawrence’s Grammy nominated album “The Rock”.

    In total Thom has had over sixty cuts with artists including Josh Abbott Band, Pat Green, Colt Ford, Bucky Covington, George Jones, Trailer Choir, Montgomery Gentry, Buddy Jewell, and Cledus T. Judd.

    "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 felt 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 and moved to Nashville in 1993. He is a two time cancer survivor, a father of two and a full time songwriter and performer.
