Garry Sheppard has enjoyed a long-standing
career in the gospel music industry.
His dream has always been to sing professionally
since childhood. He began singing in groups when he was in
high school. During the National Quartet convention in
1983, he learned there was a tenor position open with the
Kingsmen from Asheville, North Carolina. He
was hired and sang with the Kingsmen for ten years
performing throughout the United States and Canada.
While
with the Kingsmen, Garry recorded signature Kingsmen songs
such as “He’s All I Need,” “The Judgment,” “Meet Me At The
Table,”
“Stand Up” and “Wish You Were Here.”
In 1993,
Garry resigned his position with the Kingsmen and helped
start a church in Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina. Once
the church was established,
he returned to the music industry and moved
to Nashville, Tennessee. Garry sang tenor with Perfect
Heart for five years until the group disbanded.
Garry is
also a songwriter. He has written with Niles Borrop, Darryl
Williams, Bruce Carroll and Dave Clark. His
songs have been recorded by the Kingsmen,
Perfect Heart, the Florida Boys, Todd Nelon
and others.
In
October 2000, Garry was recognized with the Kingsmen, for
their years of ministry, by being inducted into the Gospel
Music Association (GMA) Hall of Fame.
Garry
began his solo ministry in the Fall of 2000. He now travels
across the country singing primarily in churches. He has
recorded a project that features only songs he has written.
Garry also has a comedy project with original material.
Garry
resides in Goodlettsville, Tennessee with his wife, Brenda
and their two children, Chloe and Camron. They are active
members of Northridge Church in White House, Tennessee. |
