"We always want to leave people feeling hopeful."
How do you stay passionate and persistent in the face of hardship? How do you keep from feeling discouraged when the universe seems to be throwing obstacle after obstacle in your path? How do you hold onto positivity when negativity seems to be everywhere?
Australian natives Sheppard might have the answer.
Amy, Emma, and George Sheppard were thrust into the limelight with the massive success of their single, "Geronimo," and their album, Bombs Away. From a multiplatinum certification to a slew of awards, they were riding a tidal wave of success...and then the world shut down. In this episode, Emmeline sits down with Sheppard to talk about the personal and professional challenges that the pandemic brought to the band, and how a vital perspective shift--and a relocation to Nashville, TN--ultimately gave the siblings the light they needed to create their beautiful new album, Zora. Designed with their own persistence in mind, Zora is a collection of pop songs that speak to the resilience of the human spirit--even when adversity seemed relentless. They talk about how their spouses have encouraged their musical journey, how Nashville's music scene has welcomed them, and how excited they are to finally go back on tour, bringing the new music of which they're so proud to legions of fans.
They also share more about the collaborative process that brought these new songs to light and give Journey of an Artist a special look at two tracks off the new album.
