Kenny Wayne Shepherd is one of the major players in the forthcoming edition of the Experience Hendrix Tour and a veteran of previous outings. Shepherd, a five-time Grammy nominee and recipient of two Billboard Music Awards commented, “I'm excited to rejoin the Experience Hendrix tour this year. It's always been a great tour with exceptional artists honoring Jimi Hendrix, the greatest guitar player of all time, and his amazing and expansive catalog of songs. Being able to do a tour with friends always makes for a great time, and this show is not to be missed."
Other notable artists who are part of the tour include the legendary blues icon Taj Mahal, Zakk Wylde, founder of Black Label Society and most recently part of the reformed Pantera, Calvin Cooke and Chuck Campbell of the Slide Brothers, standard bearers of the “sacred steel” musical tradition, and vocalist Henri Brown.
