SMOKED – Our pilot episodes have combined over 55,000 views and over 300 subscribers. Creating a quality Web series isn’t easy, and marketing it independently is just as challenging if not more. Without the deep pockets of a major marketing team, we rely heavily on social media and word of mouth. If you haven’t already, you can see the first season on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/SmokedWebSeries ) . Follow us on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/SmokedWebSeries” title=”SMOKED The Series” target=”_blank”>http://www.facebook.com/SmokedTheSeries) & Twitter (https://twitter.com/SmokedTheSeries) .

** Trouble After Midnight
————————————————————
Trouble After Midnight (EP)- This Summer was filled with some recording and touring with artist Andrew Sheppard. Growing up in the high desert plains of Hailey, Idaho this up and coming singer/ songwriter cuts his teeth in Los Angeles. Former frontman of the Gypsy River Haunts, Sheppard recently decided to go out on his own. Looking to explore new sounds and develop his own style, his music has been described as a cockeyed medley of soulful Country, honest Rock N’ Roll, with an outlaw mentality. Sheppard has recently shared the stage with several major artists including: Willie Watson of Old Crow Medicine Show, Shooter Jennings, and Jason Isbell among others. His latest release, a new E.P., “Trouble After Midnight” came out this last August. Currently Andrew is in the process of working on his first full length album which is due to be released in the spring of 2014. No matter how his music hits you, it’ll give you a glimpse of where you’ve been and where you’re going. Andrew
