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 blues us away!

    by Moonblossom on 8/1/09Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    Noah Hunt and the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band filled up my favorite Seattle venue with an incredible exhibition of blues virtuosity. Kenny Wayne played some licks I've never heard before, and I love the blues. Noah Hunt's rich vocals are powerful and right on. The two worked the stage with great showmanship and energy. The band was tight and it sounded like five old friends getting down and having fun. I borrowed 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads from the library and watched it the next day.

    Hot Hot Hot

    by Jamunn on 7/31/09Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    Kenny Wayne Shepard is the best! His cover of Jimi's "let the good times roll" was incredible. He plays so effortlessly that it just seems to flow out of him. He has total control of the music. He goes into a trance and then when he;s done he gives a little smirk. Too cool on a hot night!

    This was the best concert I've been to in years! Kenny Wayne Shepherd is such an incredible player, and he was completely amazing live. The band was rock-solid, the vocals were absolutely great, the sound was fabulous. Showbox was a perfect venue and the Seattle crowd was something the city should be proud of. This show totally rocked!!!

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band - Just damn good blues!

    by Eannaday on 7/31/09Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    I've seen the KWS Band many times, with probably the best overall show at the House of Blues in Las Vegas about 6 years ago. But no matter what the venue, these guys put on a truly awesome show. Kenny's guitar skills are right up there with the best of blues men like BB King, and the band is exceptional with the rich lead vocals of Noah Hunt. Together, these two obvious blues-loving and seemingly good friends play from their heart and soul. If you've seen the KWS Band, you know what I'm talking about. If you've never seen them in concert, you will serve yourself well by attending the next show in your area. And pick up 10 Days Out or any of their preceding CD's for blues on demand! You won't be sorry.

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd - Bringin Down the House

    by BluesGroovn on 7/31/09Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd live at the Showbox in Seattle last night. First of all it was bad ass! It was my first time seein him live and it was amazing. Hands down the best live blues I have seen. The energy was through the roof, and every song jammed. Not to mention he finished with a little Jimi in Voodoo Child. (A great cover song) I would definately recommend to anyone looking to see a good blues show. Oh and if you happen to go to the Show Box, the chinese restraunt next door has $1.00 beers if you order an appetizer. I would reccomend it. : )

    Great show

    by chrisandwynn on 7/31/09Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    KWS was incredible last night. I have never seen them before. The sets were fast and titrated with just the right amount of singing and solo. I would highly reccomend KWS to all. The ShoBox at The Market is a intimate place to see a show. No problem making our way in front of the stage for the entire show. I would guess seats 350? Great show

    Best Show I've seen this year!

    by JC426 on 7/31/09Showbox at the Market - Seattle

    I've waited ten years to see Kenny Wayne and it was worth the wait! Not a bad seat in the house and got to see the best guitar work I've ever experienced. Brought three friends who weren't familiar with his music and they were floored. Top notch performance and I can't wait to see him again.

    Kenny Wayne Shepherd is the best blues guitarist!

    by spek2me on 7/19/09Snoqualmie Casino-Ballroom - Snoqualmie

    I absolutely love this guy! He has so much talent! He is very well known in the blues world but lacks notoriety in other areas of the music industry. I would put him at my number 2 most favorite guitarist behind Angus Young of AC/DC. He is young and can only get better with time. I predict in the future that his will be a household name. He makes what he does look easy which proves how difficult it really is.
