Kenny Wayne Shepherd is a veteran of several Experience Hendrix tours and said in a statement, “Jimi Hendrix’s music has really inspired me to push the limits of my own music. He didn’t observe any boundaries musically. He was an amazing player and a tremendous showman so I incorporated some of his showmanship in what I do. It touches you on the inside and gets you fired up.”
