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:

Kenny Wayne Shepherd was great. That guy knows the guitar!
I'm 51 years old and I've seen a lot of concerts and bands in my life. Kenny Wayne Shepherd is the only guitarist I have seen in my lifetime that can actually burn it up playing Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and other great blues artists and actually do them justice. The guy is righteous! I first saw KWS when he was just starting out. He has come a long way as far as stage presence goes. He owns that stage now days. Kenny is the 8th wonder of the world!
Kenny's shows are always worth seeing. The band comes out and gives the crowd a great concert
Kenny Wayne Shepherd is true third generation Blues. Playng a set including original songs from his earlier records ( and thats what Kenny calls! them...records) to Hendrix and others gave the crowd what they wanted. His references to old blues artist from Hubert Sumlin to Muddy Waters to Robert Johnson tells you where his heart is. If you have not seen this man and band live, your missing a true musical experience.
Kenny wayne shepherd show was fantastic. I couldn't stand still. He is an awesome guitarist and his band was excellent BB kings is a great place to see a show because it is small and cozy they singer is also amazing the only bad thing is the drinks are extremely overpriced but, it was a great show I would love to see Kenny again.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd came out full force and never let up! All around people were dancing in their seats and playing "air guitar". Not a a bad seat in the house at Senaca Niagara Bears Den. Best time I have had in a long time...some blues and some rock (Hendrix Voo-Doo child and Kennys own version of Hendrix style Star spangled Banner)
Kenny Wayne was awesome and lead singer Noah was great!
This is the first time I've seen Kenny in concert, and I was totally impressed... it was a fantastic show... being a true lover of the blues, and guitar player myself….I couldn't have asked for more... he is a tremendous talent... and I hope to see him again soon! I purchased his 10 Days Out...Blues from the Backroads... which I think is a remarkable project in it's self... CD & DVD you just can’t go wrong…Kenny has taken the time to insure the forefather's of the blues are not forgotten... much in the same way Eric Clapton has over the years... as time moves on I'm sure the blues is in good hands with Kenny Wayne
What a great show. From top to bottom everything was great. First time at the Bears Den....loved the intimacy.
What can you say? Kenny Wayne is a guitar God. He played all of his hits and a few covers.
The show was outstanding to say the least. The set list was fresh and very tight. The boys played a few songs that I haven't heard for a while. The sound was great and Kenny's guitar's looked and sounded sweet. The place was packed and the fans were ROCKIN. Kenny stated the goal is to release two new projects in the new year. What a great night!
This guy is the best guitar player on the planet!! He brought the house down for two hours and closed the show with Voodoo Child!! This is one person you won't want to miss next time he's in town. Get your tickets early, the place was packed!
If I could give this show more than 5 stars, I would. I have seen him twice so far and both times were absolutely unforgettable, life altering experiences. He is an incredible performer and one of the most talented musicians that has ever graced this planet. From beginning to end, the energy is high, the guitar riffs are electrifying, and the combined vocals of Kenny Wayne and Noah Hunt are mind blowing. Seeing him in a small venue like BB King's is one experience that I will never forget. If I had to pick only one more show to attend for the rest of my life, Kenny Wayne Shepherd would be my choice, hands down.
What Kenny can do with the guitar is amazing. The show was great. I can watch him all night long!
can't wait until he is in the area again...would definitely spring for the more $$ tickets for a better view...was stuck behind a pole all night; had to rely on the screen but the sounds were terrific.
The kid can play the blues and is fast and smooth on guitar but I missed his singing last night. The last time I saw him at Westbury he sang about three tunes and I was thankfully surprised. He should continue to sing once in a while and stretch his talent. Great show though and will go again anytime he is in the NY Metro area. They did two hours as well and not many do that anymore in small venues.
I went to this show expecting good. After the show I didn't know it was that incredible. First, his band is great all around very tight. His singer Noel has an incredible voice. That raw base bluesy voice. Kenny Wayne was awesome on the guitar. He showed his influences from all the greats, Vaughan, Hendrix, Albert King, Albert Collins etc. It was a mix of his own songs and covers . His solos were extended and he made his guitar sing This show was enjoyable, If you love guitar work and blues this show is a high energy recommend.
The BEST small venue gig I have ever seen - Period.
At first when I found there was an opening act I was a bit disappointed. The first band, Tripp McNealy was awesome. I would love to see them again. If I get to see Kenny Wayne in Baltimore Thursday; I hope they open for him again. The second opening act was great as well. Kenny put on an awesome 2 hour show. 16 songs total. Noah was tremendous, as usual. Kenny really played to the audience; he was definitely more interactive than during previous shows I've seen. I hadn't been to the Chameleon club in a year or so. The renovations since that time are great. The bar was moved downstairs; so you could have a drink while being on the stage level.
What a guitar show!! Kenny was just great. Good time, good music, not too crowded, and he was just freakin great.
