Our precious Jessica has left this earth to be at peace with her lord. We are heartbroken and trying to process this terrible loss. She was a beautiful, shining example of love through music in our community. She will be missed and deeply mourned by many, but her shining spirit will always be felt by those who knew her.

Our dear sister Jessica has been moved to Christopher House (from St David's South). If you know her and are healthy and able to visit please do it NOW. The light is still burning brightly in her.
We sang for her today. Jessica has written so many beautiful inspirational songs. Long-time Gospel singer/songwriter for many bands including South Austin and RPG. Jessica Shepherd is our beautiful sister in gospel song and heart, please pray for her comfort and peaceful transition.

Born and raised on the Gulf Coast of Texas, Jessica has spent much of her life doing anything related to music and the arts; singing and songwriting are just her favorites. Her debut album, Travellingirl brought international acclaim with chart success in Australia that resulted in three international tours and song placement in the The Vision movie soundtrack. Not bad for a Texas girl on her first album!
Now Jessica brings her sophomore effort, You're Country Now, self produced with Associate Producers Scott Harris (Stinson Studios), Jason Richard (Clockright Studios), and David Valley (Sonic Arts Recording). Nominated Female Vocalist of the Year 2010 by The Texas Music Awards, for her performance on this body of art, it is a brilliant display of Jessica's finely honed skills as a singer, songwriter and producer. This new CD has already received rave industry reviews.
