Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies

We smell a massacre because this week’s guest is none other than Heidi Shepherd of Butcher Babies. As the band prepares for their Butcher Babies Vs. Goliath tour, we discuss the evolution of their musical style since the release of Goliath in 2013. Heidi shares her nerves of finally getting back into the world to tour, and how she’s taking a different approach musically to performing the tracks from their debut album.

Johnny and Heidi get into their love of being a part of the Raider Nation, and predict how this season will go for the team. We take a look at Heidi’s childhood and how it has influenced her life today. Heidi opens up about growing up Mormon, having a huge family with over 100 cousins, and how her parent’s musical & athletic genes were passed down a generation. 

We bring it back to music and chat about the possibility of a live Butcher Babies album. We get into music videos and find out why the production process is more of a ‘family affair’ for Heidi and the band. We talk about Heidi’s venture into acting (and find out she was in The Sandlot - THE FREAKING SANDLOT), plus she touches on her ‘beef’ with another female rocker. We talk edibles & highdeas, Butcher Babies wine, get an empowering quote from Nita Strauss, plus so much more!
