T.G. Sheppard
8:00 p.m. — stage — west main street
In 1974 T.G. was initially signed to Motown Records on their Melodyland label and his career began to heat up. T.G.’s recording of the single “Devil in the Bottle” for Motown’s Melodyland label struck a chord of success and became his first #1 hit. T.G. followed it with another #1 hit that he co-wrote, “Trying To Beat the Morning Home.”
What followed was a whirlwind. By the time the ink was dry on a major deal with Warner Brother Records, T.G. had been named “Best New Male Artist” by Cashbox. He amassed ten consecutive #1 records—including songs that are now considered T.G. Sheppard signature songs: “Last Cheater’s Waltz,” “Only One You,” “Party Time,” “Do You Wanna Go To Heaven,” “I Feel Like Loving You Again,” “I Loved ‘Em Every One,” “Finally,” “War Is Hell on the Homefront Too,” and “Faking Love.”
At a point in his career when most artists are resting on their past accomplishments, for T.G. yet another dream is about to become a reality. With the release of his upcoming album, T.G. Sheppard is once again poised to count a vast new flock of music fans among his followers.
