Vonda Shepard

Vonda Shepard plays Òran Mór, Glasgow, on 7 October 2026. Born in New York and raised in California, the singer and pianist has built a clear, piano‑led blend of pop, soul and acoustic rock, with melodies front and centre. After early years as a backing vocalist and the 1987 duet Can’t We Try with Dan Hill, she released her self‑titled debut in 1989, then The Radical Light in 1992 and It’s Good, Eve in 1996, affirming a direct, adult songwriting anchored at the keyboard. Between 1997 and 2002, her appearances in Ally McBeal took her songs to a wider audience, with Searchin’ My Soul becoming the show’s theme and a series of related albums following. Parallel to that chapter, she kept recording and touring: By 7:30 (1999), Chinatown (2002), From the Sun (2008), Solo (2011), Rookie (2015) and Red Light, Green Light (2022) trace a steady line through piano ballads, rootsy pop and stripped‑back folk‑rock. On stage, her set draws from this catalogue, balancing soulful slow-burners and tighter, rhythmic pieces shaped by voice and piano.
