Zakk Wylde To Join This Year’s ‘Experience Hendrix’ Tour

Written By Mike Greenblatt
Zakk Wylde

The Pride of Bayonne, Zakk Wylde, will join Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Kingfish Ingram, Eric Johnson, Samantha Fish, Dweezil Zappa, Taj Mahal, Noah Hunt, Stanley Jordan, Ally Venable and other artists at the 2024 “Experience Hendrix” tour. It’s been five years since this popular Jimi celebration toured. Starting as a single 2001 San Diego show, by 2004, it was a full-blown tour. Besides one 2022 night in Austin, it hasn’t toured since 2019. The three-hour extravaganza should be a doozy. Kenny Wayne Shepherd says, “I’m excited to rejoin this year. It’s always been great, with such exceptional artists, to honor the greatest guitar player of all-time and his amazing and expansive catalog of songs. Being able to do a tour with friends always makes for a great time and this show is not to be missed.”

Wylde, 57, will be making his tour debut after lighting up the sky as lead guitarist with Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society and Pantera. Born in Bayonne, he grew up in Jackson (Ocean County), worked in a Toms River music store, first performing in two Jersey cover bands, Stone Henge and Zyris, before touring and recording with Pride & Glory.
