KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD IN CONCERT:
Guitar god Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of the fiercest young axmen of his generation, and he continues to blow audiences away every time he takes the stage. The self-taught virtuoso is a sight to behold in concert, where his furious fingers and flailing blonde locks serve as the perfect counterpoint to the precision and ease of his razor-sharp riffs. Whether he's playing bluesy originals from 2014's Goin' Home or covering legends like Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix, Shepherd always treats fans to electrifying performances that are as heavy on pure gusto as they are on musical chops.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Shreveport, Louisiana-born Kenny Wayne Shepherd got his first guitar in early childhood and began learning the instrument with a unique self-taught method. He was quickly recognized as a guitar prodigy, and at age 13 he was invited to play on stage with blues icon Bryan Lee. His first performance at the Red River Revel Arts Festival in Shreveport attracted the eye of label execs, and before long Shepherd had signed a multiple record deal with Giant Records. His 1995 debut album Leadbetter Heights topped the blues chart, a feat he repeated with five subsequent albums including his 1997 sophomore album Trouble Is... -- the longest-running album on the Billboard Blues Chart in history. In 2014 Shepherd released his seventh studio album Goin' Home, another chart-topper that has fans eagerly awaiting his next must-see series of tour dates.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"I have seen Kenny Wayne numerous times and this was his best show yet. See him if you can!"
"Awesome show!!! Would definitely pay to see them again! He punished that guitar!"
"Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band rocked the blues. What great musicians. His closing act of Jimmy Hendrix's 'Voodoo Child' was awesome."
2nd time seeing them. 2 hrs long. Nice venue. Great acoustics
Also a great show!! Having at the casino was a little smaller venue. Which means there wasn’t a bad seat in the house.
From start to finish this band delivers sheer perfection in every single note and lyric! There is no way I could ever truly describe the instrumental and vocal talent of this stellar band!! To experience it.. you’re definitely going to be an instant fan for life!! I’ve followed them since the beginning and I’m still as in love with them now as I was then!!! Their concerts are sure to make you want to sing along and get up and groove!!! I’m a KWS lifer!!! Still makes my heart race thinking about the concert!!
The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band was OUTSTANDING👍👏👏👏!!! The venue was great, sound was crisp & clear. Just a super fun night all the way around!
First time seeing Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band and we will never miss another chance to see them! Venue is always great with theater seating throughout and great camera work for the close up shots. The talent that Kenny Wayne Shepherd has is unmatched, as well as the other talented band members! He is one of the most talented guitarist I have seen and I was thrilled to be able to see him in person!
Great show. Great songs. Kinda like one big awesome guitar solo. Amazing player and great band.
I loved how they closed with an excellent rendition of Voodoo Child. Spectacular show and I love the Mystic Lake Casino venue. Great experience all the way around. And I got an excellent concert tee. I might be 55 years old but I still need my concert tee! :)
My wife and I have seen many concerts and music festivals. This was quite possibly the best show we have ever seen. Small venue, great band/musicians; incredible headlining guitar player. Simply outstanding!
Amazing guitar player / imitates the blues - he’s amazing !!
Really impressed with the venue and of course Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Been following his career and finally great to see him on my birthday! You can tell he idolized SRV, finished with an amazing Voodoo Chile.
