Kevin C. Johnson has covered the St. Louis' music and nightlife scene for the past decade.
Give me a break. Kenny your a good guitar player but whose gonna pay $40 to see you. Talk about trying to break the bank..
Well, you usually pay more for crap talent, SO, in my opinion they have it the right way this time around. He is better then just a “good” guitar player.
That’s a lot of $$$ to hear “Blue on Black”.
Really STLguy.. You’d classify him as great??? He’s no Stevie Ray Vaughn or Hendricks, Eddie VH, George Lynch, Warren D Martini. Those are great guitar players…And mang015 I was thinking the exact same thing $40 for Blue on Black.. What other hit does he have?
jim, you lost all credibility when you couldn’t even spell the great Jimi Hendrix’s name right.
And that’s overlooking you misspelling Stevie Ray Vaughan’s name, too.
If you actually listened to his albums instead of only what you hear on the radio, you’d find he is an excellent guitar player. When playing live, he makes it look effortless.
$40 for KWS is the going rate. In a smaller setting like the VooDoo Lounge, that’s not a bad deal. I’d recommend his shows.
$40 a bargain in these tough times for this show..Saw the kid at Union Station at a Kshe show years ago and have 6 times since..and as far as 40 for Blue on Black? Dont forget Slow Ride, In 2 deep,Was, Aberdeen,.Deja Voodoo..this boy got a ton of good songs not counting when he tributes SRV and Hendrix,etc..
