“Very cool 'n' loopy, heavy and NYC-ish"

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.

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

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

A neighbor, classmate, just some guy in school, some kid you met at a concert, a hitchhiker you gave a ride, your brother’s buddy, sister’s boyfriend, the bag boy at the market…
He has a past!!

Thank you for the add and helping to get his picture out to others.
Anyone that reads this, please add him as a friend, he needs as many friends as possible!! 14 years, in an urn nameless tucked away on a shelf is long enough.
just stopped by to say thanks for letting us into your world and it looks like we came along at the right time as you have fallen over and we offer out hand accordingly:-) pete
If you love me (as a friend or brother) you'll read the whole thing. What would you do if for every moment you were truly happy there would be 10 moments of sadness? What would you do if you’re best friend, sister or brother died tomorrow and you never got to tell them how you felt? So, I just wanted to say, even if I never talk to you again in my life, you are special to me and you have made a difference in my life. I look up to you, respect you, and truly cherish you. Send this to all your friends, sisters and brothers, no matter how often you talk, or how close you are, and send it to the person who sent it to you. Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell new friends you never will. Remember, everyone needs a friend. Don’t ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love. If you understand this, it means the person who sent it truly cares about you..."
If you wake up in a red room with no windows and doors, DON'T panic... You’re just in my heart!!! Send this to all the friends you want to keep forever...
Today is Best friend Day. Blessings Always~ In Love and Light, Mojo
