The Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band are releasing their new studio album, How I Go, Aug. 2 via Roadrunner Records. The first single from the album, "Never Lookin' Back," is available digitally now.
Expect to see Shepherd and the band on the road this summer, too; their U.S. tour starts July 29 in San Diego and ends Sept. 9 in Morristown, New Jersey.
"Blues player is definitely one of the labels I've accumulated, because I'm a huge blues fan and I love to play the blues," Shepherd says in a press release. "But if you listen to my music, especially over the course of my career, everything I do is not blues. It's the foundation of what I do, but my stuff has a lot more of an edge to it.
"It's a little more contemporary. And there's a certain youthfulness to what I do. I started writing and recording music when I was a teenager and that energy has been consistent throughout my career."
