What Has Chevel Shepherd Been up to Since ‘The Voice’?
Besides winning both “The Voice” title and now the man of her dreams, Shepherd has been involved in some incredible projects since her time on “The Voice” ended in 2018.
Shepherd tried something new, putting her acting cap on when she took on small roles in two films, 2020’s “Wildfire” and 2022’s “Vengeance”. She also explored more within her primary field, music, and was able to release two albums in the years since her “Voice” win. First came 2020’s “A Good Ol’ Country Christmas”, a 12-track compliation of holiday standards. Two years later, Shepherd followed this up with a 7-track album, titled “Everybody’s Got a Story”, her first album of original music.
Shepherd’s most recent single, “Looking for Loretta”, was released in February 2023. While working on other new releases, the singer is not hard pressed with finding any live performance opportunities, as she has been playing concerts and festivals across the country, most recently the Comstock Windmill Festival, in Comstock, Nebraska.
