Separate and together, they have shared playbills with Blue Oyster Cult, Edwin McCain, The Dave Brockie eXperience (GWAR), Aztec Trip, The Brain Surgeons, Theory of a Deadman, Southern Culture on the Skids, Lazy American Workers, He Is Legend and many others. “Very cool ’n’ loopy, heavy and NYC-ish" Martin Popoff – Author, Sr. Editor of Brave Worlds & Bloody Knuckles, Contributor to Guitar World & Goldmine Combining tight syncopated phrases and hooky riffs that stick to your brain like hot tar with freight train energy and sudden tempo shifts The guitar is like a second voice for Chris and he speaks through it effortlessly, as if he could tell you the entire story without a word. Ezra Waller, cincymusic.com Shepard is a stark-raving lunatic. John Persinger, The Roanoke Times. Chris Shepard’s guitar rock sounds like quintessential American music. Shepard is definitely a great guitarist, and that is the most important thing to know about Sin & Tonic it has great guitar, the kind of balls-out power chords so many males (and females) are craving. Andrea Caumont, leftoffthedial.com This one is different kids! As a solo artist, Chris Shepard gets more mileage out of his ax than a lumberjack in a feeding frenzy. His voice is edgy, his guitar raw and his music is not for the faint of heart. Take my word for it or go to the Chris Shepard Rock Site Joe Quam, roanoke.com Sierra Dog Romeo - Crosseyed Loaded If nothing else, singer/songwriter Chris Shepard has a way with titles. On this disc we’ve got "I Just Flat Out Can’t Stop Smoking Crack," "Hell Is Boring," "Bubba McBubba" and "Donkey Bomb." But do they deliver?Well, for the most part, yes. This set of rock songs is strong enough not only for a live set, but for an album as well. That, my friends, is an accomplishment.Sierra Dog Romeo plays like Southern Culture on the Skids but without the quirky frills. Shepard’s lyrics have a way of sticking in your head. "Smoking Crack" stuck in mine for days, in fact. The music works to deliver the lyrics and melodies, but doesn’t impress much beyond that. It doesn’t matter - here, the songs are strong enough to stand on the strngth of the vocals. Mason Adams, The Roanoke Times Sierra Dog Romeo • Crosseyed Loaded • self-released • Chris Shepard is the mind behind this rocking and sarcastic band that delivers songs about hippies, skinning dogs, smoking crack and working a 9-5. The guitar riffs are an ode to the roots of rock-n-roll with a driving bass line to go along. The overall sound is a clash of glam and grunge at their worst of peaks. Comparable in nature to the context of Ween, Zappa, Beck and Primus, expect to be entertained by a solid album of some comical songs and sounds. Check out "I Just Flat Out Can’t Stop Smoking Crack" and "Down From The Sky" for a taste. Impact Press Click the Timescast Logo to see LIVE Acoustic Performances |
