Kenny Wayne Shepherd was the boy wonder of blues when we first heard from him in the mid 90s.
The self-taught blues guitarist was influenced from the Stevie Ray Vaughan, Muddy Waters and Albert Lee records in his father’s collection. At age 13, he was up on stage performing for the first time.
Kenny is now one of the world’s most respected guitarists. His latest album ‘How I Go’ was released in 2011.
Kenny Wayne Shepherd had this chat with Noise11’s Paul Cashmere.

Let me say, ‘Tina – The Tina Turner Musical’ succeeds on both a historical level and an entertainment level. This is brilliant theatre.

Don’t bother asking 80 year old blues legend Charlie Musselwhite when he is retiring. I did and this was the answer I got. “I haven’t really thought about it a whole lot. I’ve really enjoyed what I am doing and I would love to come back to Australia. We have always loved Australia. Never had a problem there. Its always been a great time, great people, great audiences. Its just a beautiful place to come and we are looking forward to it.”
