Vonda Shepard - European Spring Tour 2026
With her soulful voice, passionate stage presence, and impressive connection between singing and piano, Vonda Shepard has been captivating her audience for decades – in spring 2026, the American musician will go on a big European tour and, of course, will stop in Germany!
As always, she will be accompanied by her outstanding All-Star band: James Ralston on guitar (22 years with Tina Turner), Jim Hanson on bass (Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash), and Fritz Lewak on drums (30 years with Jackson Browne). Together, they will bring an exhilarating mix to the stage – with songs from Vonda's 14 studio albums, beloved classics from the Ally McBeal era, and brand-new pieces.
Vonda is particularly excited about the dates in Germany, as a loyal and steadily growing fan community has developed here over the past few years. “It almost feels like a family reunion now – the energy is incredible every time!” she shares enthusiastically.
“I love sitting at the piano, playing a few songs solo – and then really getting into it with my band. In the end, it should be a big party where no one stays seated and everyone sings along! I'm really excited to also have new songs in my bag because I'm currently working on a new album that is set to be released in spring 2026. As of now: It’s developing into something BIG! Recording starts in May,” Vonda continues.
Vonda Shepard
Vonda Shepard was born in 1963 in New York City into an artistically influenced family. She started playing the piano at the age of six, wrote her first songs at eight, and first took the stage at fourteen. Originally, she dreamed of a career as an astrophysicist – but after her first performance as a musician, it was clear: Music is her world.
From 1985, Vonda toured as a background singer and keyboardist with Rickie Lee Jones, Al Jarreau, and Jackson Browne, for whose tour she first opened as a solo artist in 1996. She achieved international success in 1997 with her role as the bar singer in the cult series Ally McBeal. With the title song Searchin' My Soul, she scored a worldwide hit – she contributed over 500 songs to the series.
To this day, Vonda Shepard has sold over 12 million albums, has been awarded two Golden Globes, two Emmys, and two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and holds the Billboard record for the best-selling TV soundtracks of all time.
