Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
Thirty years ago, a Fender Strat-wielding teenager from Shreveport, Louisiana by the name of Kenny Wayne Shepherd brought the blues back to the mainstream. It was 1995, the era of furrow-browed grungesters, when a sandy-haired guitar prodigy unapologetically celebrated a genre often pushed to the margins. With his fiery fretwork, pop-rock hooks, and reverence for the blues, Shepherd’s arrival was a much-needed palette-cleanser from the existential dread of the times.
Now, three decades later, Shepherd is as vital as ever. No longer the child prodigy, he has ascended to master. Still touring, recording, collaborating, and evolving, he’s returned to where it all began, Ledbetter Heights. Shepherd’s latest is a re-recording of his landmark first album, in honor of its 30th anniversary.
Up next, Shepherd and his band will be hitting the road for the Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour. The shows will include a performance of the full 12-track album, along with another set featuring highlights from his 30-year career. “Revisiting this album put me back in touch with the wonder and excitement of those days. I didn’t know what lay ahead,” he reflects. “I’m so grateful for this album – it gave me everything.”
