Alt-country duo Pint & a Half will bring their rich harmonies and storytelling flair to the 76th Annual TorC Fiesta. The husband-and-wife team of Duke and Tami Sheppard has earned praise from national music outlets, with No Depression describing them as “a serrated and poignant storytelling team” that has quickly secured its place in the alt-country scene.
Rooted in Salida, Colorado, and Hillsboro, New Mexico, Pint & a Half blends folk, blues, and country traditions into a sound that is both timeless and expansive. Duke Sheppard’s guitar, harmonica, and songwriting pair seamlessly with Tami Sheppard’s expressive vocals and percussion, creating layered melodies and harmonies that linger long after the music fades. Their 2018 release Boomtown Ghosts was hailed as “a balanced and virtually impeccable work” by Planet Country, further cementing their reputation for musical craftsmanship.
On stage, the duo’s chemistry shines through energetic performances filled with heartfelt lyrics and personal storytelling. Their music captures both the grit and beauty of life in the American West, drawing audiences into an intimate yet powerful experience. Festivalgoers can expect an engaging set that blends authenticity with artistry, making Pint & a Half a standout act in this year’s Fiesta lineup.
