Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

For the last quarter-century, riding shotgun with Kenny Wayne Shepherd has been the greatest road-trip in rock ‘n’ roll. The young Louisiana gunslinger who erupted onto the mid-’90s scene with his burn-it down guitar solos and gut-punch songcraft has become even more magnetic, still pushing his Fender Strat, while diving deep into human truths and personal evolution with an honesty that only comes with miles on the clock. If that quarter-century journey has taught Shepherd anything, it’s that there’s no such thing as mission accomplished.
