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:

He delivered just as he always does. The last 2 times I saw him in Austin at Antone's. Great venue. He always has a great set list and plays about 1.5 hours. The Venue billy bob's sucks. 90% of the seating is site impeared.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd was absolutely awesome---just what I expected! He and his band rocked it!!
It was extremly hot as in weather. Could have been a much better event if Hard Rock Hotel had provide fans to move the air around.....some type of breeze would have help greatly. My friends and I travel some distance to attend this event but kind of disappointed in how uncomfortable we were.
Kenny and the band were fantastic, hard to believe Kenny is so young! The only downside was that the stage was not elevated and it was hard to see unless you were right up front.
Pool party concert at the Hard Rock Hotel. Great venue, great show, perfect evening. The show was outstanding.
amazing guitar! the whole band was very tight.great set list
Great Show Great Area~ I would recommend this event.
If You are a fan of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn then you must go see KWS. One of the best guitarist alive today !!!!!!
WOW, EVERY SECOND OF THIS CONCERT WE WERE AWWWWWWW STRUCK!!!!! Kenny has found the "PICK OF DESTINY" The lead singer was on TOP of his game!!!!! .(and very nice to look at) All band members were OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!! We enjoyed this concert to the MAX!!!!
The show was good from start to finish. Even when the speakers went out they stilled played great. If you are a blues/rock fan, this is the band to see.
Band was good. No encore. Show seemed kind of short but that could be because we drove so far to get there. They had some sound issues. Speakers kept blowing out. Seneca Allegany Casino is not ready for shows. We were in the banquet hall sitting in banquet chairs lined up. If the person next to you was even a little bit overweight they were spilling over their chair and into yours. There was no rise. It reminded me of the cafetorium in the basement of an old school. Acoustics were bad. Many people had free tix because they were big spenders in the casino. We paid for ours because we are fans. Good thing they were inexpensive and now we know why.....
I saw the band 10 years ago... It was good then... this time is was great! Simplicity in perfection...
The show at the Seneca Allegheny Casino in NY was unforgettable. This was simply 5 dudes on a simple stage playing for about 2,500 fans. I did not know what to expect at first, but was quickly blown away as soon as the jamming commenced. These guys did not disappoint! The quality of performance was incredibly professional. I now understand the difference between good bands, and great ones. I will definitely go to this show again, somehow, somewhere, someway! The show was about 2 hours long, non stop. But it went quick. I'll could handled at least twice that!
band was incredible. seen them a handful of times and they keep getting better. salamanca casino left a bit to be desired as far as venues go. gotta hand it to the band for playing through sound problems. to bad they couldnt do anything about the terrible service.
Never ever ceases to amaze me!! what an incredible show. This is the third time I have seen hima and was totally psyched that Chris Layton was on drums... wow, really?, could not have asked for a better night!!
I got tickets for this show because my husband is a huge fan of KWS. I expected I would just suffer through it as I'm not a "blues" fan. But I have to say I thoroughly loved this show. What an amazing musician Kenny is. The show was well paced and he must have done a lot of his hits because my husband sang along to everything! I'd be happy to attend another show of the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band!! The vocalist is awesome too!!
shepherd was powerful as ever - really did not like the venue - show was in big conference hall bears den in niagara falls casino much better
The set up at the concert with the two large viewing screens each side of stage gave me what I didn't know I needed. A close up view of the members. You can't see that in the CD's. I saw no arrogance. I did see a tight group performing from the soul. They are definitely gifted. I would have liked more inclusion of the base and keyboard players on the screen, but I am not whining. Kenny makes it look easy but when I got home I could only maul mine in the usual manner. Even volume couldn't fix that. I learned a lot from watching him. His picking was awesome. He didn't play....he flowed. Bravo! I was impressed
Amazing guitar player with a band to keep up with him. A bit odd being on a flat floor for a show, makes line of sight kinda crappy, but 2 big screens helped.
Everything about this event was great except for the fact that the chairs in the event center were nearly "on top" of each other. No Deja Voodoo, otherwise GREAT SHOW by the Kenny Wayne Band.
