New Music From Independent Artists Andrew Sheppard, Jeff Bryant, Mark Daniel And Dhanya

Singer/songwriter Andrew Sheppard is preparing to release his album "Steady Your Aim" on March 23rd. After packing up and moving from a small town in Idaho to Los Angeles, Sheppard felt that his music missed out on that hometown vibe and returned back to Idaho as he explains on the album's opening track "Take A Walk With Me." His new 10-song release continues with the Americana vibe of "Steady Your Aim" and the alternative-country appeal of "Red Wine & White Roses." You can fully appreciate Sheppard's songwriting during the quieter numbers, "Standin' Tall" and "Not My Kind," before he finishes up his new album with the beautiful acoustics of "Further Away."
