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.

Kenny always puts on great show. Nice smaller venue, good sound. Clean restrooms. Comfortable seats. Plenty of room for food/drink lines. Will definitely return.
What a great show, they rocked it! Definitely go see them!
Kenny Wayne and the KWS band did not disappoint. We expect greatness from him and his band, but never expected that they could have gotten better. From the keyboard player (totally rocks), the addition of the horns and the rest of the band they are well rounded and in sync as if they were one. Kenny Wayne still plays his guitar with heart and soul. It wasn't just another gig to him and the band and we felt that. The total talent on that stage was an amazing experience no doubt. Looking forward to being a part of that experience again.
The KWS band "ROCKED THE HOUSE". Mixture of old and new releases. Really a great night.
If your a fan of the Blues or Rock in general, Kenny Wayne will deliver. A great show!!!
well first off to be in the building when KWS is awarded his Louisiana Hall of Fame Plaque was amazing in itself! Then the show starts with his new songs from the new LP and he kicks off an incredible night of new and old hits! His singer is an amazing talent, his musicians he plays with are a class by themselves. and don't get me started on his piano player. what a talent he is! this show is a must if your a fan of Blues / Rock. Thank You Kenny for coming to South Louisiana and burning down the house!
He had me memorized from the first note! Amazing guitarist is an understatement 🤘
Last time I attended a concert on my birthday was July 13 1978! I was 16yrs old at the time, and the ticket was $12.50 for general admission into the NOLA Superdome to see the Rolling Stones! This year was on the same date, I'm 46yrs older though and a drink cost as much tickets then, but front row seats with Louisiana's own Kenny Wayne Shepherd with my 14yr old son was simply the best!
First time seeing Kenny Wayne Shepherd and let me tell you his band was fantastic and kept us engaged all evening. I think KWS is the best guitarist ever! We will definitely be going to his concert in Shreveport.
this band is amazing,each,and every muscian is very good at what they do.kenny is an amazing guitarist,truly one of a kind.there show is well worth the ticket!!!!
Easy to find the River Center. Great seats. Well worth being in the audience. Very talented. Love their music. Proud he is from Louisiana!!
Absolutely loved the Baton Rouge River Center theater as a concert venue. The Kenny Wayne Shepherd band was awesome. Really enjoyed the watching the trumpet and trombone players as well as the keyboardist.
Unbelievable performance For more than two hours, it was a real real Great Show
I thoroughly enjoyed the event. Pretty well organized for a first event. Kenny Wayne was fabulous as usual. The Delgado Brothers put on a good show. Jon Cleary was also good. I love his New Orleans sound. The band would have been much better with a horn section. The Lao Tizer band offered a welcome departure from all of the blues acts. Eric Marienthal on sax and Karen Briggs on the violin were both masterful. The highlight of the festival for me was Shamekia Copeland. Not only does she have an amazing voice, she's a consummate performer. The sound for a couple of the acts was way too loud and sometimes the instruments were drowning out the vocalists. The most annoying thing was the flashing lights on stage that were constantly shining in the eyes of the audience. Awful idea! The food vendors were good and there was an excellent variety. The parking lots really need some lighting. Walking back to our car after dark was an adventure on the uneven, unpaved parking lot.
This was our fifth time seeing Kenny and he did not disappoint. From the teenage Kenny at Belly Up, through 4th and B, House of Blues at Mandalay Bay and Humphrey's, we had our best seats of all time (3rd row right in front) and were thrilled to see how he has matured into one hell of a performer and (of course) one of the best guitarists ever. So happy we got to experience this show.
Kenny Wayne Sheppard is just an incredible master of the guitar. He puts on a spectacular show! The setting at the Murietta park was really great. The only thing lacking was a little extra enthusiasm from the audience. This was a "leave early"crowd. It is unbelievable when we were being treated to such an amazing show. Maybe next time the headliner starts earlier?
Always a great day with Kenny Wayne Shepard!!! Love him and his band 😘
The venue was Murrieta Amphitheater. It's beautiful, but too hot for a day event. I wish they had lined the grass for assigned places bc we waited in sun all day to hold our spot, only to have people crowd the front area and block our view. They basically stole our view. It's not easy on persons with health issues. We would've liked to wait in the shade and be able to have our spots when we're ready.
Great venue. Hardly any shade for any type of seating. Suggest allowing rear exit to get to parking lots. Sound system was great.
Great day Kenny was fantastic 👌 will be going again
