Thank you very much for the love and support.”
Their continued presence at the Rebel Africa Rally underscores the Shepard Brothers’ growing popularity and the trust the Rebel Troops have in their musical prowess.
The brothers emphasized the significance of such opportunities, particularly when performing outside their home country.
“Playing outside the country is very helpful as we get to play for larger crowds, bigger stages, share our own produced songs with the masses, and increase our network and fanbase. It even opens more opportunities for us,” they explained.
