Kenny Wayne Shepherd

It's all about you.

I often think I just was talking to a guitar player, Kenny Wayne Shepard, and we were talking about what we would say to our younger selves.

And I think what you just said is so important.

That's something I would say to my younger self.

That's pretty close

... "Pick up your free tickets for Kenny Wayne Shepherd."

I s- I got it too.

And I-

I was like, "This is like synchronized."

I was, okay.

And I was like, "Oh man, that's pretty cool." You know? So I open up the email and holy fucking shit, what happened to Kenny Wayne Shepherd? This man looks terrible.

Oh, man.

Oh, been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

From her 2005 release, Best of Susan Tedeschi, Episode One, that was the lady herself with Stevie Ray Vaughan's backing band, Double Trouble, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd with Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll.

Her- their version of it was pretty dang good.

We go to South Florida and see Kat Riggins.

But I will

be performing at the Los Angeles Shrine Auditorium January 11th with the Jim Irsay Collection Band, where Kenny Wayne Shepard will play Pink Floyd's The Moon on David Gilmour's Black Stratocaster.

The whole mood, whatever that song is, Dark Side of the Moon, maybe.

This makes tonight again.

What's the best advice that you ever received from B.B. King? Because it's well documented that you opened for him when you were 12 years old, and he was a mentor of yours.

Best advice I ever s- he ever told me was, "Watch your money and watch your, watch the women." And, and you can ask Kenny Wayne Shepherd about that, too.

He, the same thing.

Um, you know, it, it, it, it, it's amazing, you know, that, um, he's been gone 11 years and, and, uh, you know, he would've been 101, you know, a few weeks ago and, and, you know, and now we have Buddy Guy who's the last man standing, him and Bobby Rush.

Today's show brings together performances from the 2024 and 2025 concerts to protect our aquifer.

Over those two evenings, audiences enjoyed an incredible lineup featuring blues man Bobby Rush, Shemeika Copeland, James McMurtry, Steve Forbert, Tom Rush, Tim Easton, Shakira Saeeda, Alice Howe, Freebo, Marcella Simeon, Anne Harris, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Eric Lewis, Jimmy Davis, and many more special guests.

It's a reminder that no matter where these artists come from, Memphis remains a place where music creates community.

Let's get back to the stage at the concerts to protect our aquifer.
