The Sheppard Brothers Band
Young musicians paying tribute to Jazz, blues, funk and rock
The Sheppard Brothers Band has performed throughout Long Island and New York City over the last three years.

Camara Sheppard, 13, adds vocals and has been playing the piano since he was 6 years old.
Ryan McCloskey, who is 17 years old, has been playing drums for the past seven years.
Newest band member Angelica Franzino, 17 will add some vocals and plays 4 instruments (Bass, Flute, Guitar and keyboard).
The Band was featured on Long Island Pulse’ “Cool List” in the October 2009 issue.
They have been the youngest band to perform at the 2008 and 2009 Great South Bay Music Festival. They were featured at the 2009 Shinnecock Pow Wow.
Nada Marjanovich, Publisher and Editor of Long Island Pulse Magazine called them her “favorite band of the moment,” in the February 2008 issue of Long Island Pulse Magazine.
They have performed Live on 88.3 WLIU. They have appeared in News Day and Dan’s Papers.
When you hear these talented young people perform you will think you are listening to a more seasoned band. They love good music, which for them includes jazz, blues, rock, R&B, and gospel. Some of their musical influences include Jimi Hendrix and Sting.
