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.

Great music and performance! Took a couple of friends to the show that only knew a song or two and they loved it. I can’t wait to see them again.
Great show! The band was very tight. Kenny was on fire on the guitars and Noah was spot on with the vocals. We could have watched for a couple more hours and still would have wanted more. The venue (Capital One Hall) is beautiful and comfortable and does not feel crowded at all. The staff is truly friendly and welcoming. The ushers are lively and seem to love their jobs. We sat near the rear of the center orchestra area and the view was superb. Even near the back of the hall we could still see Kenny’s fingers tearing up the frets. Can't wait to see him again, especially if he revisits Capital One Hall. The reserved garage parking was very easy and the staff was on hand after the show directing our exit so well that we almost didn’t have to stop as we made our way to the exit. It was the best concert experience ever and i have been going to concerts since the late ‘60s!!!
Capitol One Hall is a great venue; all good spacious seat, and perfect acoustics. KW was amazing as always. Noah Hunt must have been hurting, he was definitely low energy. They cut King Bee from the setlist; a song that he needs to carry. Joe Walsh Turn to Stone was my personal favorite. The extended solo was worthy of vintage Joe. Add KWS to your must see list while still headlining.
Great venue!! Easy access. Lots of parking. Plenty of friendly staff. Concert was awesome!! Rocked it for a solid 90 minutes!! Kudos to Jeff City Parks and Kenny Wayne Shepherd band!
Another beautiful night, in the moonlight, listening to great music!!
KWS does not disappoint. He rips on the guitar like days of old when he first put out his album Ledbetter Heights. Noah's voice blends in perfectly and with KWS singing more the harmonies sound so good. Great show! The audience seemed a little too laid back though.
We were so impressed with this venue as first timers to see a concert there, will definitely go back for more concerts! Kenny Wayne Shepherd concert was excellent, love the blues genre and what a perfect place to enjoy his music!
Awesome concert at a great venue (Capital Region Amphitheater)!!
I was not familiar with much of KWS work, so I didn’t expect to enjoy it all……each and every song was AWESOME. I could have listened to him for hours. I’m a new fan. I’m purchasing most of his work for my music library 💕
KWS played like he was possesed by Stevie Ray Vaughn. I had great seats 3rd row in front of stage.I have seen KWS quite a few times and this was by far his Best. Hope they did good enough on merch and ticket sales to come back to Jefferson City Missouri !!!
Kenny is a USA treasure. He has a rarely seen command of the fretboard. His band was fantastic also. The new CR Missouri amphitheater is a great addition for mid MO that I would never thought I would see here. 10 Stars out of 5 !!!!
I was very disappointed that the show lasted 1 hour and 15 mins. Not so bad but people came 2-3 hours away to hear an hour. Then on top we paid almost top ticket foe hour 15 min concert. Never been to one under tow hours.
It was an awesome show!!! Seen them 20 years ago and they haven't lost a step. The vocals sound just as good live as they do on the albums. It was a great experience all around. For those of you wondering, it was a lesson in guitar showmanship. Just the right amount of little touches here and there and when he decided to show off a little you could see how easy he made it look
We saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay in San Diego on 8/11/2023. We’d been wanting to see him for a few years, and he and his band did not disappoint! Awesome show! We will definitely go see them again. If you get the chance, you should, too.
Excellent venue for this type of concert Beautiful evening too Kenny Wayne Shepherd band is one of my favorite blues bands Ally Venable was a great opening band I especially enjoyed when Kenny brought out Ally and Samantha Fish to sing Fantastic Thank you for a wonderful memorable night
KWS is the most awesome blues guitarist on earth. He and his band members are beyond any blues band alive that I had the pleasure to see and listen to live on stage. He blew us out of the water! Can't wait to catch him live again when he comes back to town.
KWS never let's up the intensity while playing. Nice to have th ed guest singers too. Ally Venable was a great choice for an opening act
Great concert. Kenny was on it. I think one of the best guitarist out there!
He puts on a great show. No one plays the guitar like Kenny Wayne Shepard!
KWS play his heart out such a talented guitar artist. We enjoyed the show. You have to go see him live. First time to see KWS and will be going again next time he is here !
