Behind the Shedd

Welcome back to Behind the Shedd!  In Episode 11 Harold, Russ, and Wade sit down with legendary songwriter, Don Von Tress.  Don wrote arguably the most recognized country song in the world, Achy Breaky Heart performed by Billy Ray Cyrus.  He also wrote Evergreen performed by our good friend Jeff Copley. Sit back and enjoy listening to Don recap his life, musical career, and how he went from being a commercial wall paper hanger to being in Billy Ray's band.   This is Behind the Shedd.

Produced by Russ Zavitson and Wm. Wade Smith.   Original Behind the Shedd theme song written by Russ Zavitson.
