Kenny Wayne Shepherd Extends Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour
(PMPR) Following an extensive 2026 run celebrating the album that launched his career, platinum-selling, six-time GRAMMY-nominated blues-rock guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd has announced that his Ledbetter Heights 30th Anniversary Tour will continue into 2027 due to demand.
The newly announced 17-date run launches March 20th at Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater, FL and continues through April 13th, bringing Shepherd and his band to cities across the South, Northeast, Midwest, and Canada. Highlights include Greenville's Peace Center, Buffalo's Kleinhans Music Hall, Toronto's Massey Hall, Washington, DC's Warner Theatre, and shows throughout New York, New England, Florida, and beyond. Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale this Friday, September 18th at 10am local time.
The 2027 extension continues a celebration that has taken Shepherd across the U.S. and internationally throughout 2026, performing his landmark 1995 debut Ledbetter Heights in its entirety for the first time, alongside a career-spanning set drawn from three decades of music.
The tour coincides with the release of Ledbetter Heights (The 30th Anniversary Sessions), Shepherd's newly recorded version of the album that first introduced him to the world. Released in May, the project revisits the original 12-song collection from the perspective of an artist shaped by three decades of touring, recording, and collaboration. The album was preceded by new versions of "Deja Voodoo," "One Foot on the Path," and "Born With A Broken Heart," each offering a glimpse at how Shepherd approached the material with a deeper sense of nuance and intention while preserving the fire of the original recordings.
"This is the album that put me on the map. My goal has always been to make timeless music," Shepherd says. "Unfiltered and straight from the heart."
