Meet T.G. Sheppard and Kelly Lang
T.G. Sheppard’s 21 number one hits and a lasting spot in the list of top 100 country artists all began when he ran away to Memphis to begin a music career at the age of 15. But he really hit the jackpot when he married singer-songwriter Kelly Lang, who came out with her first solo album last year, after writing songs for everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to Lorrie Morgan, to the Oak Ridge Boys.
They both will be performing in the Guest House Theater this Saturday, August 18 at 3 p.m. For more information, call (800) 238-2000.
