Guitar hero Kenny Wayne Shepherd plays a show with blues legend Hubert Sumlin tonight at The Pabst Theater.
Shepherd made a trip of 10 days in the U.S. to meet and play with his idols (B. B. King, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Hubert Sumlin, Pinetop Perkins, Henry Townsend, Honeyboy Edwards, Cootie Stark, Neal Pattman, Etta Baker, Jerry "Boogie" McCain, Buddy Flett, Bryan Lee, John Dee Holeman, The Howlin' Wolf Band and The Muddy Waters Band).
The result was the CD / DVD "10 Days Out -- Blues From the Backroads," which was produced by Shorewood native and former Talking Head Jerry Harrison.
Tickets cost $32.50. Doors open at 7 p.m., with showtime slated for 8.
