It’s been a huge 2024 for Sheppard so far, with the trio of George, Amy and Emma Sheppard making the big move to America, settling in the music city of Nashville. Not long after relocating, the band dropped their fourth studio album, Zara.
Named after the sibling’s grandmother, the album spawned the singles ‘Good Time’, ‘Daylight’, ‘Dance on the Sun’, ‘Edge of the Earth’ and ‘Running Straight To You’. It carries a message of hope and celebration and peaked at #8 on the ARIA Album Charts.
