Sheppard, the award-winning Australian pop band, first garnered significant attention with their self-titled five-track extended play, released in 2012, which peaked at No. 18 on the ARIA Singles Chart in 2013. Their single ‘Let Me Down Easy’ earned a nomination for Best Independent Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2013. The band achieved a major breakthrough in 2014 with ‘Geronimo,’ which spent three weeks at No.
1 on the ARIA Singles Chart and achieved 5x platinum certification. This success propelled their debut studio album, ‘Bombs Away,’ to No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart the same year. Cementing their international presence, Sheppard signed a worldwide deal with Decca Records in March 2014, while maintaining their partnership with Empire of Song/Chugg Music in Australia.
The band maintained a strong presence in major events, performing as halftime entertainment at the 2020 AFL Grand Final. Sheppard released their third studio album, ‘Kaleidoscope Eyes,’ in 2021, and performed prior to game two of the 2021 State of Origin series. Demonstrating a strategic move to broaden their United States footprint, the band relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, in 2023. In 2024, Sheppard continued to innovate and achieve new milestones with the release of their fourth studio album, ‘Zora.’ The band made history by becoming the first musical act to perform a concert on the Great Barrier Reef, an unprecedented live event.
Further expanding their collaborative portfolio, Sheppard partnered with Jolyon Petch on the single ‘Sunshine,’ which climbed to #3 on the ARIA Club Tracks Chart. To support this collaboration and their latest work, the band embarked on a national Australian tour with Jolyon Petch in 2024.
