It’s been quite a while since I’ve enjoyed an interview as much as this one.”

Sheppard had some serious star power," exclaimed Candy O'Terry. "When Jacy and I returned to Kelly and T.G.'s beautiful home, it was his turn to share a success story like no other. Listen to this episode, and you will hear the story of a 15-year-old kid who crawled out his bedroom window one night with 60 cents in his pocket and a prayer that he would make it in Country music.

TG SHEPPARD PERFORMS ON SIRIUSXM PRIME COUNTRY THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23

Country Legend Talks with Charlie Monk 

About Brand-New Music, Career Highlights

As Cowboys & Indians Magazine proclaimed, "one of the most sought-after live performers in country music," TG Sheppard performs an intimate concert on SiriusXM's Prime Country (Ch. 58) this Saturday, November 23 at 5:00 p.m./CT.

Hosted by radio veteran Charlie Monk, the one-hour special includes a career-spanning discussion and numerous performances in front of a live subscriber-based audience at Nashville's Music City Theatre.

Sharing music from his new album Midnight in Memphis that Digital Journal reviewed as "compelling from start to finish," Sheppard also dives into his friendship with Elvis Presley, being a teenage runaway, his former life as a radio promotion executive and more.

Sheppard also discusses his weekly radio show The TG Sheppard Show that airs on SiriusXM's Elvis Radio (Ch. 19) every Friday from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m./CT. Guests of the show include Sir Barry Gibb, Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton and Kid Rock, just to name a few.

Released in October, Midnight in Memphis is the first solo country album Sheppard has released in more than 20 years. Garnering an "A rating" from Digital Journal, the record includes singles "I Wanna Live Like Elvis" and title track — written by Sir Barry Gibb — "Midnight in Memphis."

The exclusive performance will re-air on Saturday, November 23 at 11:00 p.m./CT and again on Sunday, November 24 at 11:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m./CT.

TG SHEPPARD TO HOST NEW WEEKLY SHOW ON SIRIUSXM'S ELVIS RADIO

One of Billboard's "Greatest of All Time Top Country Artists", TG Sheppard has been tapped as the new on-air personality for SiriusXM's Elvis Radio on Channel 19.

The TG Sheppard Show will air weekly on Fridays from 3:00-6:00 p.m./ET, making its SiriusXM debut on July 5. The three-hour show will feature Sheppard spinning the best of Elvis, as he revisits his personal, behind-the-scenes memories that he shared with the King of Rock-n-Roll.

Sheppard will also visit with old friends of both he and Elvis. Guests will include some of the most iconic and legendary names in music.

"I am very excited for the opportunity to join the SiriusXM team on Elvis Radio," says Sheppard. "My record executive days with RCA and my association with Graceland through the years as well as my past friendships with my dear friend George Klein and Elvis made the decision to do a radio show on SiriusXM Elvis Radio channel 19 a natural one for me."

Sheppard first met Elvis when he was a 16-year-old runaway, out on his own and chasing his dream of becoming an artist. The two met one night at a skating rink in Memphis, where Elvis recruited some of his friends for a game of "kill" — basically football on skates. Elvis needed another man, and Sheppard was in the right place at the right time. Who would've thought that once-in-a-lifetime meeting would've sparked a lifelong friendship that lasted until Elvis' passing.

Years later, Sheppard was given the opportunity to work alongside his friend as head of southeast record promotion at RCA, which enabled him to travel on Elvis' tours. Later though, Sheppard was finally given the push he needed to pave his own career path — as an artist. Elvis gifted Sheppard with his first tour bus, giving him the confidence he needed to work even harder to breakout as an artist.

An artist to his core, Sheppard has banked 21 No. 1 songs throughout his tenure in music, and the country music legend isn't changing his ways any time soon. In-between his new on-air personality role, Sheppard will still be completing his first new country solo album in more than 20 years as well as fulfilling his already hectic touring schedule.

"Mixing radio along with my touring schedule will hopefully give me the chance to reach more people with everything that I'm doing and keep the legacies of my friends Elvis and George Klein always in the forefront," adds Sheppard.

TG SHEPPARD RELEASES FIRST SINGLE IN MORE THAN 20 YEARS, "I WANNA LIVE LIKE ELVIS," ON THE KING'S BIRTHDAY

Priscilla Presley Embraces New Single

Country music legend TG Sheppard honors his close friend Elvis Presley by releasing his first single in more than two decades, appropriately titled, "I Wanna Live Like Elvis." The single comes hand-in-hand with today's date of January 8, what would have been Elvis' 84th birthday.

Sheppard — one of Billboard's Top 100 Country Artists of All Time — explains, "I was compelled to record 'I Wanna Live Like Elvis' in honor of my long-time friendship with him, and because the writers were able to capture so much of his life story in just four minutes in a clever and comical way that hasn't been done before."

The upbeat, funky track hits on the extraordinary life and career of the one-and-only Elvis Presley, featuring witty lyrics such as "I wanna learn karate, make a movie in Hawaii" and "I wanna love my momma, lay around with 'Cilla in silk pajamas."

Speaking of 'Cilla, Priscilla Presley even gives her stamp of approval stating, "'I Wanna Live Like Elvis' has a catchy beat, great lyrics and is cleverly written. Don't feel alone TG... I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. Much success to an endearing song, my friend."

Sheppard, who has banked 21 No. 1 hits, met The King at a skating rink one night in Memphis where Elvis invited him inside to play a game called "Kill" with he and his friends. After that serendipitous meeting, Sheppard and Elvis became great friends. Elvis even gave Sheppard his first tour bus, giving him the push he needed to strike out on his own and forge ahead with his music career.

"I Wanna Live Like Elvis" is the first single to be released from Sheppard's upcoming full-length album, his first country solo album in more than two decades. Details surrounding the new record will be announced in the coming months.

Read more about Sheppard's five favorite memories with Elvis and listen to "I Wanna Live Like Elvis," premiered exclusively by Billboard, HERE.

The new tune is available for download today at iTunes, Amazon and all digital retailers.

Ever wanted to know what goes down when celebrities gather for dinner? Well, now you can. Later this month, country legend TG Sheppard and his better half, singer-songwriter Kelly Lang, are inviting everyone to dine at their table, giving fans the chance to see what happens, first-hand.

"We've invited some of our good friends to join us for these TV specials," explains Sheppard. "We wanted to give people a chance to be a 'fly on the wall,' so to speak, and to experience what goes on when we invite our celebrity friends to dinner."

The hour-long premiere episode will feature celebrity dinner guests such as country music stars Gretchen Wilson, Moe Bandy and Big & Rich's John Rich, along with Charlene Tilton of Dallas fame, Paul Shaffer, Music Director of Late Night with David Letterman, and Gus Arrendale, President of Springer Mountain Farms.

"Throughout our marriage, TG and I have hosted many parties that our celebrity friends have attended," says Lang. "Inevitably, someone breaks out in song and/or tells an incredible story that a fan would love to have heard. These specials allow someone to take a behind-the-scene peek at what these dinners are like and how celebrities interact."

The star-studded cast will speak candidly about their private lives, advice they've received from respected mentors, living in the public eye, as well as upcoming new projects.

Filming throughout the country, each special will be taped at a different location, at a famous landmark that people will recognize. The premiere episode, produced by Jeff Moseley/CJM Productions, was filmed at Nashville's Fontanel Mansion — the former home of international superstar, Barbara Mandrell.

The series is sponsored by Springer Mountain Farms. The upcoming premiere is a prelude to an ongoing series with additional episodes to be filmed in the coming months. Sheppard and Lang have signed-on to host multiple episodes.

Country Hitmaker Adds New Dates for 2017 Tour

T.G. Sheppard is excited to bring the party from city to city nationwide, as the 21-time chart topper announces the first wave of shows for his ‘Party Time Tour.’ The announcement comes on the heels of the country legend’s 35th anniversary of releasing the signature anthem “Party Time,” which topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. “Party Time” was one of the most requested songs of 1981, and was featured on the album I Love ‘Em All.

In an effort to show that traditional country music is back and more popular than ever, Sheppard will bring a lively, energetic show that will have all of the fans on their feet.

Joining Rich this year are Lee Greenwood, Lorrie Morgan, T.G. Sheppard, John Conlee, Frankie Ballard, comedians Williams & Ree and his Big & Rich bandmate, Big Kenny.

 Proceeds from the event, which kicks off the 2015 FedEx St. Jude Classic golf tournament week, benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Funds from this event help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

 "I’m incredibly proud that the St. Jude Presents John Rich and Friends charity event has grown into an amazing entertainment event over the past four years, while continuing to support the kids of St Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” said Rich. “It’s a blessing to be part of an industry that has supported St. Jude so passionately for the past 30 years.”

 St. Jude partner Window World® is presenting sponsor for the fourth consecutive year, and plays an important role in the success of St. Jude Presents John Rich and Friends. Through its charitable foundation Window World Cares®, the company supports St. Jude throughout the year and has raised more than $5 million for the kids of St. Jude.
