About
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."

Kenny Wayne Shepherd
by Momma Wolf on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5This was my first time at The Factory and it did not disappoint. I’m 5’2 and have difficulty seeing the stage in almost every venue but not here, I was in the front row of the second balcony and although when the man in the section across the walking aisle in front of me stood up I had to stand too I could still see the stage because of the stadium style seating. Kenny Wayne Shepherd was AMAZING! Please bring him back every year!
Best concert EVER
by environmentaljoyce on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5Great venue, free parking, easy in and out. Nice bar area with seating while you wait. Great seats, comfortable chairs, everything about this show was awesome. Probably the best guitar player I've ever seen.
Terrific Performance & Venue
by Klbarkey on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5This was a fabulous concert and the The Factory Chesterfield is our favorite venue!
Kenny Rocked the house!
by Jessie on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5Second time I have seen him and it was better than the first time! Incredible show!
Fantastic
by Mayzo on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5I’ve been to several concerts and this was my favorite. The band is great and KWS is nothing short of amazing.
Great concert, nice venue.
by Mike S on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5Saw KWS at Pops 25 years ago. He still puts on a great show…
Perfect Sized Venue
by Gina G on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5Ample parking with easy access to the highway. KWS was excellent and amazing! The sound wasn’t too loud, but loud enough to hear. I would have liked a monitor with close ups, but it wasn’t necessary. Just a personal preference.
What a show!
by AnnieJ on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5Best concert I’ve seen in a long while! KWS was absolutely amazing! He plays guitar like he’s possessed! What a talent! His band is awesome! Can’t wait to go to another concert!
One word - EPIC!
by BigPapaPK on 6/24/23The Factory - ChesterfieldRating: 5 out of 5I’ve followed Kenny’s career and music since we were both teenagers, but this was the first time I’d been able to see him in concert…Almost 30 years I waited,..and it was WORTH IT! Kenny has some of the fastest hands I’ve ever seen and is so eerily reminiscent of SRV in the way he performs. His opener, King Solomon Hicks, was fantastic, as well! This was the perfect venue to see him live and his show was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Guitar officianado
by Doug 23 on 6/13/23Brown County Music Center - NashvilleRating: 3 out of 5Great concert for blues guitar officiandos, but a little less so for the mainstream. Very gifted. Not sorry I went.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd at the Rose
by SavanahAutumn on 6/12/23The Rose Music Center at The Heights - Huber HeightsRating: 5 out of 5Kenny, Noah and the boys were in great form. They rocked us all night long. Crowd was small (too bad). Also I am really disappointed in the crowd. When Kenny and Noah gave Dayton a chance to shine singing Blue on Black, no one except for the crowd up high ( which my wife and I were part of) knew the words. The crowd down below fell silent. What a shame, shame, shame. I give Kenny and the boys a high 5. I give the crowd a shameful 2
Fantastic seats, fantastic venue
by L. S. on 6/12/23Brown County Music Center - NashvilleRating: 5 out of 5Probably one of the best concerts. I’ve been to in a couple of years… Kenny Wayne Shepherd just keeps getting better and better. I will see him again every chance I get.
Awesome!
by Michael G on 6/12/23The Rose Music Center at The Heights - Huber HeightsRating: 5 out of 5Incredible talent!! Amazing show!! I’ll attend next years event!!

by Billy on 6/11/23The Rose Music Center at The Heights - Huber HeightsRating: 5 out of 5Kenny Wayne Shepard and friends, what could be better except front row dead center seat. Was well worth the price and will see them again next year when he rolls thru.
