Ashton Shepherd Biography:
Ashton Shepherd was born in Coffeeville, AL on August 16, 1986, and reportedly began singing as soon as she could talk. At the age of eight, she entered a country showdown, and performed Patsy Cline songs. By the age of 15, she picked up a guitar and learned to play. Her parents funded the money to record an album at Jeff Cook's studio in Ft. Payne, AL. They pressed 1,000 copies, and would sell them where she performed at local fairs and bars.
Her big break
Ashton won a local talent contest in 2006, where the prize was behind the opening act for country legend Lorrie Morgan. At that show, a Nashville producer saw the talented singer, and invited her to Nashville to record. She was signed to MCA Nashville, and that was where she released her first major label album, Sounds So Good in March of 2008.
