Thom Shepherd
Thom is a songwriter and performer from Mount Juliet, Tennessee, whose songs have been recorded by Tracy Lawrence, George Jones, Trailer Choir, Montgomery Gentry, Pam Tillis, Buddy Jewell, Kevin Fowler, and Cledus T. Judd. He is the writer of the 1 hit single, “Redneck Yacht Club,” from Craig Morgan’s GOLD certified album “My Kind of Livin’ “. His first number one was “Riding with Private Malone,” recorded by David Ball. It won an Achievement Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association, voted on by their members as “the song you wish you had written.” Thom even got to be in the video, playing the title role. The song also opened the door for Thom to perform for our troops overseas – he has been on seven tours for Armed Forces Entertainment, bringing his music to servicemen and women in thirteen different countries.
Brian Ashley Jones
Brian is a soulful singer, accomplished lead guitarist, and versatile songwriter who draws from a variety of traditional music to create his own brand of Americana. Described as ‘Blues Grass’, Jones’ music is heavily influenced by the guitar driven bluegrass, blues, country, and rock that he absorbed while growing up in a musically diverse family in South Carolina. Now based in Nashville, Tennessee and endorsing Taylor Guitars, Jones maintains an active touring schedule and performs about 150 live shows per year. He showcases his writing and playing chops with 11 well crafted original songs in his current release Courier. The swampy instrumental ‘Pull ‘em Up’ has been featured in the widely acclaimed PBS television series Road Trip Nation, and the lighthearted bluegrass tune ‘Johnny Appleweed’ is the theme song of a feature length film currently on the film festival circuit. Jones has also been selected as a finalist in the 2008 Emerging Songwriter’s Contest at the Flat Rock Music Festival.
