Kenny Wayne Shepherd 'Live in Chicago' Coming This September

Shepherd emerged in the '90s as a teen guitar hero, playing blues-rock for the post-grunge generation. At 16, he was signed with Giant Records and recorded his first album while still in high school.  He's racked up two platinum and one gold albums, six Top 10 singles, and his album Trouble Is still holds the honor of  the longest running album on the Billboard Blues Charts,.  

Shepherd has earned a wide variety of honors, including four Grammy nominations, two BillboardMusic Awards, two Orville H. Gibson Awards, the Blues Foundation’s “Keeping the Blues Alive” award and a Blues Music Award.  In 2008, Fender released the Kenny Wayne Shepherd Signature Series Stratocaster.  HIs 2007’s CD/DVD 10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads was nominated for two Grammy Awards, aired on PBS television nationwide and has been certified RIAA Gold as a Long Form Video.
