Kenny Wayne Shepherd was born in Louisiana in 1977. In an interview on the ''Weekend In Wyoming' program that aired last Saturday, he told us that his musical career is the result of a lifetime love of music. He said he is self taught, having taken the time as a kid to learn how to play notes on a guitar "one note at a time. It's a pretty tedious process. I don't know if I recommend it for everybody, but thankfully I had a good ear for it, and that's what works for me."

Shepherd Says Teaching Himself To Play Presented Challenges

He says of teaching himself to play "For me it felt easy. There was definitely challenges. I didn't just pick up the guitar and instantly sound good at it. But I don't know, I don't know any different...after a while of doing it enough and enough repetitions something clicked in my brain and the instruments starting making sense."

Shepherd credits Stevie Ray Vaughan as "the guy who really lit the fire in me." Shepherd says he met Vaughan when he was 7 years old and that Vaughan let him watch his show from the side of the stage, "and that was a pivotal moment for me."

Shepherd calls Bobby Rush "legendary" and describes him as "this 91-year-old blues guy that is just incredible."
