Dave Shepherd's Good 'N Country: A Night of Country Music and Two-Step Dancing

Looking for a safe place to get your Honky Tonk on in Pittsburgh? Tired of trying to compete with line dancers? Still want to hear great live Honky Tonk Music? Went to the White Horse in Austin once and now it's your whole identity? Good 'N Country is where you want to be! Dave Shepherd and his band bring the classic Honky Tonk dance music to Club Cafe for a night of Country Two Stepping and partner dancing with lessons included! No partner necessary! Brought to you by Dave Shepherd and Steel City Squares. A PA guy through and through, Dave Shepherd is a country and bluegrass songwriter and musician from the rust belt of southwest Pennsylvania. After a decade living in Philadelphia touring the east coast, mid-atlantic, and southeast with various bluegrass, country, and jazz groups, Dave has resettled back home in the Golden Triangle, the Paris of Appalachia– Pittsburgh PA. You can hear the rust in his songs. Not plain alt-country– Dave has credentials in real deal country and bluegrass scenes– but Rust Country, classic songs with a grungy edge built on the rusty frame of that good old country, bluegrass and western swing. Original music that feels like home and the skills to get a room two-stepping all night long, Dave puts on a raw and well oiled musical show in any formation– solo acoustic, trio, bluegrass ensemble, to a full country outfit with fiddle and steel. Dave’s first two releases, Be Here Now and Yellowstone are products of his first session of original music. Recorded in February 2020 with Mark Thornton in his studio in Nashville, Tennessee, they were released a year later in 2021. There’s also an EP of Hank Williams covers and the most recent release Strugglin has been out since 2022. Strugglin was recorded in Pittsburgh with Tyler Thompson (Fruition/Studio 110) and features Pittsburgh’s own Read Connolly (Zach Bryan, Charles Wesley Godwin) on pedal steel. New music out in 2025 When Dave’s not playing his own shows, fly fishing or spending time wit
