| Kenny Wayne Shepherd |
Guitar World gives high praise to the five time Grammy-nominated Shepherd, ranking him third on their list of top blues guitarists behind the legendary B.B. King and Eric Clapton. One of Shepherd’s biggest hits “Blue on Black,” was #1 on the rock charts for 17 consecutive weeks. He has had six albums reach the # 1 spot on Billboard’s Blues chart, including 2011’s “How I Go”.
The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band is currently on tour promoting, “How I Go,” and between touring dates, the Band is also back in the recording studio working on their next album, which they hope to release in early 2013.
Equal to Shepherd’s passion for guitars is his affection for American Muscle cars. His collection includes a ’70 Plymouth Duster, a ’50 Ford Business Coup and two Chargers: ’69 & ‘72. For the past four years, Shepherd has shown a custom car at the annual SEMA show including last November when he unveiled a 1964 Dodge at the Mopar Performance booth.
