Throughout his 20-year+ career, Kenny Wayne Shepherd has proven to be an influential force in a worldwide resurgence of interest in the blues through collaborations with Bryan Lee, B.B. King, Noah Hunt and Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown. See him perform his legendary blues-rock hits at Riverwind Casino Friday, April 5, at 8 p.m.

At 16 years old, Shepherd signed his first record deal and recorded his debut album, “Ledbetter Heights,” bringing hits like “Deja Voodoo,” “Born with a Broken Heart” and “Shame, Shame, Shame” to radio. Since then, the Louisiana-born axman and songsmith has been shining a light on the rich blues of the past and forging ahead with his own modern twist on classic sounds.
