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 puts on such a great show! I went with a friend that has never really been into rock blues, but by the end of the night she was sold!! He and Noah Hunt really interacted with the audience and THAT made it a most memorable event :) Fantastic evening of the blues and hope that everyone has an opportunity to enjoy him as much as we did.
This is the 2nd time to see KWS. Great both times. Definately recommend.
I went with my daughter and friends, and all four of us really enjoy this show. Northern lights was a great place to see a band..I would go again!
He is an unforgettable musician. It was my 4th time seeing him and he was better than ever. I recommended him to any blue/rocker fan!!!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is great! His band is terrific. I saw him 2 years ago and became a fan. The venue was not great acoustically.
This was my first time seeing Kenny Wayne and it will not be my last! He is amazing, and he has a great band behind him. You can feel the soul in each strum of his guitar. He is destined to be one of the new "Great Blues Guitariest". He is right up there with Johnny Winter and BB King. When he makes his guitar sing, it touches your soul. I am so glad that I went. Now I can't wait until the next time I see him and I am getting a couple of his CD's this weekend!!!! Thanks to Kenny Wayne and the band for a wonderful night of music.
from start to finish the band from kenny wayne all acrossed the board fresh and clean playing singing and accoustics at northern lights quite impressive and the fact that the ticket price at $20.00 is hard to believe in this economy thank you northern lights
He come out and burned up the frets showing why he is one of the BEST BLUES GUITAR PLAYERS in the great U.S. of A. JUST AWESOME
There is no one and I mean no one who can play guitar like Kenny Wayne Shepherd! He is absolutely fabulous! Loved the show and music. Noah is outstanding -- his voice is unsurpassed!!! Kenny Wayne come back soon -- we love you and your music!!!
This show was fantastic. Kenny Wayne Shepherd has the ability to reach everyone in the crowd. He will come right up to the edge of the stage and show off his talent to people in the front few rows and he steps back so people in the back can see him. He's amazing, a wonderful performer that captures your attention and holds it for hours.
Ive seen KWS 3 times now all were good but he tore it up. I would go see him tomorrow if he would play close by...if you like blues he is one to go see.
Awesome show intimate space! I was surprised at the number of covers he did but he pulled them all off quite nicely!! Not only is Kenny an outstanding string bending dude but his fellow musicians were quite adept as well! Hey for $20.00 and drinks, all in all it was a GREAT time! My wife and I really enjoyed the entire evening!
Kenny is one of THE best rock n roll blues guitarists I've seen in a long time. His guitar playing expresses his soul and it reaches into ones own. The band was just the right accompaniment, especially the keyboardist whose soul expression was almost as deep as Kenny's. The lead singer's voice had that southern rock sound that was a good match to listen to. The showmanship was very entertaining and the view was good. The only negative I would say is that he needs to play in a larger performance hall as the volume of his guitar has left me wondering if I have permanently lost some of my hearing. lol
As usual Kenny Wayne Shepherd and his band put on an amazing performance. He has an unbelieveable talent. Would love to see him do more performances in the St Louis Mo and Central Illinois area.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is an amazing guitarist! He is technically a master of the whole guitar. My complaints of the show is that it was only an hr and 40 min. When you spend $50.00 a ticket you expect a longer show. Also, the folding chairs we sat in were not comfortable at all...
I WENT TO KENNY'S SHOW LAST YEAR AND HE HAD AN AMAZING SHOW- TO BRING THE OLD GUYS FROM BACK HOME THAT HE LEARNED FROM WAS A SIGHT TO SEE. THIS YEAR THE WHOLE BAND SOUNDED JUST AS GOOD AS LAST. HE WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE STAGE AND SHOW OFF HIS STUFF TO A VERY PLEASED CROWD. GOOD LUCK TO KENNY AND HIS GROUP-HOPE TO HEAR SOME NEW MUSIC SOON!
Kenny Wayne Shepherd was incredible, but the venue was NOT. This was my first time to see a concert at the VooDoo Lounge, and I do not think I could have been more disappointed. We paid extra for the booth seating, thinking that the seats would be elevated and that we would have 'special treatment' when it came to having beverage service. This was not the case. Our booth seats 'towered' a good six inches above the crowd seated on chairs directly next to the booths. The acoustics of the booths (located in tiny alcoves) was horrible. It sounded as if the road crew backed their cars up behind the stage and opened their trunks, for us to hear the new stereos that they got for Christmas. The wait staff was practically non-existent, only taking and bringing our order when a member of our party stepped out of our booth to block their path back to the bar. This lack of attention was NOT worth the extra twenty dollars we paid for the seats. If you have a choice, choose the open seating plan and get there early to get the seats that you want. As far as the music and actual show were concerned, KWS was at the top of his game. He has matured into one of the best blues guitarists touring today. The band was incredibly tight, and it was a pleasure to see Chris Layton once again keeping the band in time. I can't wait to see him again with the Arc Angels on July 31,2009. We were also surprised at the length of the show. It did seem short (80 minutes), but there was no opening act.
Needed more Blues Plus it's time for some new songs
Wow!! I was blown away!! I am a new KWS fan and was totally amazed by his talent. The venue was perfect--small and intimate, but allowed Kenny to show off his musical ability. The whole band rocked nonstop. They just looked like they were having a great time The background info on some of the songs really put a personal spin on the concert He played for 2 hours straight!!!
The concert last night was over the top as usual. We enjoyed every minute of the concert. Will definetly go again.
