Celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this weekend in the Black Hills.
Had a great time doing music at Calvary Temple in Spearfish, SD. It was a refreshing time and a great service that morning. Very powerful move of God there in the morning service. ...also drove Spearfish Canyon for the first time ever. Would highly recommend that for anyone. It is beautiful!

Spent some time this week and two weeks ago with the great people in Luverne MN. Led worship, spoke, did special music, and had some great fellowship there! Thanks for bringing us in.

Had an opportunity to lead worship and do special music at two churches in Grand Rapids, MN today. My wife and I led an acoustic worship set and did special music this morning at the Alliance church. This evening we got together with a couple friends and led a more contemporary worship/special music set and New Song church. We had a blast both places. Below are a couple pictures from the Alliance church.

Looking forward to some of the upcoming opportunities for ministry in the next few months! Thanks to all those who have invited me to come in and share music at your churches. I appreciate the doors that have opened up. I am still looking for more opportunities this year, so if you are interested please check out the "booking" page.

I have been working on some new worship songs lately. Worship music is what got me interested in playing guitar in the first place. It is still something I am a part of almost every week at some level. If God gives me the songs and brings in the finances I think my next album will be a worship album.

Played a concert at the Firehouse Underground Coffee House in Sioux Falls SD, last night. The weather was pretty rough so the turn out was not the best. But in spite of that we had fun!

I am looking forward to a great year! I am praying that God opens up many opportunities for me to get out and share the new songs across the country. Currently, I have started rehearsing for some upcoming concerts. I still have some openings this spring on the calendar, so if anyone would like to bring me into their church for a concert please contact me. Contact information is available on the booking page. I would love to talk to you about putting something on the calendar for 2010!

I just found out this last week that the album is now available both through cdbaby.com and itunes. Check it out and spread the word. Thanks to everyone that has become a fan and/or left feedback about "Things I Think About" on Facebook etc! I am glad that many of you are enjoying the CD and spreading the word. Thanks!

I just picked up my new album "Things I Think About" in the Twin Cities last weekend. It is now available from me, and shortly will be available online as well. I am also beginning to book concerts for the months of Feb-April of 2010 for the "Things I Think About" Tour. If you are interested in booking a concert during those months I would love to get it on the calendar in the near future. Please contact me for booking at bensheppardmusic@alliancecom.net

I have been in the studio this week putting the finishing touches on my album. I am hoping to finish up in the studio this friday. I have also been working on the layout and CD design and am trying to get the finishing touches on that done as well. If things keep progressing well I should be on target to have the CD available for sale mid/late November. It is nice to see some light at the end of the tunnel!

I have been in the studio for the last 3 months working on my first album "Things I Think About". It is an acoustic based Contemporary Christian album. I have been recording with Mike Dresch at Cathouse Studios in Sioux Falls, SD. Hopefully if everything works well the album will be complete and available by late November. ...more info to come.
