ASC Presents Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band
Alys Stephens Center, Jemison Concert Hall 1200 10th Avenue South, Birmingham, ALFor the last quarter-century, riding shotgun with Kenny Wayne Shepherd has been the greatest road-trip in rock ‘n’ roll.

If that quarter-century journey has taught Shepherd anything, it’s that there’s no such thing as mission accomplished.

Who else, for example, when playing “Day Tripper,” can lay downContinue Reading ...
