Six String Southern presents blues-infused rock n’ roll artist Kenny Wayne Shepherd live at Lucas Theatre on Saturday, June 10. Tickets are reserved seating and start at $55.

There are few artists whose names are synonymous with one instrument and how it’s played in service to an entire genre. Utter the phrase “young blues rock guitarist” within earshot of anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the modern musical vanguard and the first name they are most likely to respond with will be Kenny Wayne Shepherd. The Louisiana born axeman and songsmith has sold millions of albums while throwing singles into the Top 10, shining a light on the rich blues of the past and forging ahead with his own modern twist on a classic sound he has embodied since his teens.

In a 20-year recording career that began when he was just 16, Shepherd has established himself as an immensely popular recording artist, a consistently in-demand live act and an influential force in a worldwide resurgence of interest in the blues.

From television performances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (amongst others) to features in Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, Maxim Magazine, Blender, Spin, USA Today and more, his musical career has been nothing short of phenomenal.

Opening support will be Texas blues/rock guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Ally Venable. Ally’s sound is fully contemporary, rooted in the bedrock of American music, and built on the kind of talent that only presents itself every few generations. Her guitar work is wiry and ferocious and her vocals sparkle and strut. At just 23 years old, she is one of today’s top blues artists by any measure and her career is only picking up speed.

Event Details

The question of who’s the hero and who’s the villain gets some major shakeups in James Cameron’s visionary sci-fi masterpiece starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton. Set years after the events of “The Terminator,” Sarah Connor is now in a mental institution, and her son, John, the future leader of the human resistance in the war against the machines, is being hunted by a shapeshifting android assassin from the future. Balancing its technical innovations, massive set pieces, and exhilarating stunt work with subversive genius, heartfelt character development, and still-relevant philosophical questions, “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” isn’t just one of the greatest action films of all time, it’s also a powerful story about friendship, family, and what it means to be human.

Revisit some of cinema’s most iconic heroes and villains on the big screen this summer at the Lucas. Each screening will feature themed surprises like photo booths, concession specials, pre-show trivia, and more, along with the chance to hear the Lucas’ recently restored 1925 Mighty Wurlitzer pipe organ roar! Plan to arrive early to hear its pre-show performance.

Tickets for the film, part of the Heroes & Villains Summer series, are $5 for SCAD Card holders, students, seniors, and military; and $8 for the general public
