KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD

He has evolved from a blues prodigy to an established blues-rock maestro. Shepherd can bend, slam, strum, hammer and pull the guitar strings into varied shades with the blues as the foundation. His fluid riffs, ranging from sinewy to hard rocking, are scattered over rock, R&B and the musical traditions of his Louisiana heritage. He is on the road supporting Goin’ Home, a thoughtful collection of select covers. (Samir Shukla)
