With four Top 3 hits on the Australian country airplay chart and a #1 EP on the ARIA Australian Country Album chart in just over twelve months, Amy Sheppard’s country music career is off to a flying start. Amy now delivers her most anthemic release to date with Sometimes You Learn, an up-vibe slice of empowering country-pop.
Co-written with and produced by Stuart Stuart, the producer behind Sheppard’s global smash-hit single Geronimo, Sometimes You Learn has been a live favourite as Amy has been performing around the country on Australia’s biggest country music festivals, including KIX Live in the Park at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Savannah in the Round in Mareeba and CMC Rocks.
Amy commented, “When I hear “Let’s go, girls!” it makes me want to kick down a door, and I’ve always wanted to write an empowering anthem to open my shows that makes people feel the same way. That’s what Sometimes You Learn is for me. Life is full of lessons and love can be our biggest teacher; this song reminds you to chin up, smile and prove the haters wrong by winning anyway. With your friends by your side and remembering your worth, you can overcome anything.”
As one of Australia’s most successful songwriters with her music clocking over one billion streams globally as part of her band, Sheppard , Amy is now carving her own country path in tandem with her role in the band. She launched her solo career with the hit singles Nothing But Wild, Blue Guitar and Couple Goals all reaching the Top 3 of the CountryTown Hot 50 Airplay chart. In addition, her duet with The Wolfe Brothers, Something Good’s Gonna Happen, also reached the top 3 as well as garnering a nomination for CMT Video of the Year at the 2023 Golden Guitar Awards.
