The Experience Hendrix Tour, the only official multi-artist celebration of Jimi Hendrix’s musical genius that made a triumphant return this year after a half-decade hiatus, has just announced its 2025 edition. Starting at Taft Theatre in Cincinnati and winding its way through the Midwest (with a stop at Toronto’s famed Massey Hall), the tour continues down the East Coast and through the South, concluding in Atlanta at The Fox Theatre. The tour once again presents a diverse, star studded lineup for next year and features select dates from Experience Hendrix Tour mainstays such as Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Zakk Wylde (Pantera, Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne) and Eric Johnson, as well as Devon Allman (Allman Betts Family Revival), Samantha Fish and Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram. Marcus King is a first-timer for 2025 and is sure to bring a fresh, new energy to Hendrix’s timeless repertoire.
“Jimi has long been a big influence in my musical journey,” said Mississippi-born blues guitar phenomenon Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram, who is both a Grammy Award winner and was named Contemporary Blues Male Artist of the Year at least year’s Blues Music Awards. “The opportunity to join the Experience Hendrix Tour in fall 2024 was fantastic, so I look forward to hitting the stage with the Hendrix crew this spring as we bring this exciting show to more North American cities.”
Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Devon Allman has been making music since the 1990s in various bands (Honeytribe, Royal Southern Brotherhood) and as a solo artist, before founding The Allman Betts Band in 2018 with Duane Betts. There is a familial connection, as their fathers Duane Allman and Dickey Betts were in The Allman Brothers Band, who played the 1970 Atlanta International Pop Festival with the Jimi Hendrix Experience. Devon Allman’s musical style ranges from Southern Rock to soul to blues, making him a perfect candidate for taking on the immense challenge of doing Hendrix’s music justice in a live setting. “Really looking forward to celebrating the eternal, cosmic music of Jimi Hendrix,” stated Devon Allman. “His singing voice has inspired me just as much as his ethereal, Martian, liquid-esque guitar. It’s gonna be a stone cold groove…be with us!”
Kenny Wayne Shepherd’s soulful and pitch-perfect guitar playing has been a key component of the Experience Hendrix Tour for many years. The five-time Grammy nominee and recipient of two Billboard Music Awards commented, “I’m excited to be a part of the Experience Hendrix Tour again. This tour always offers fans a unique opportunity to see artists from multiple genres of music all honoring the great Jimi Hendrix. The diversity of the artists that take part every year only goes to show the vast reach of Jimi Hendrix’s influence.”
Among the other artists featured on the 2025 Experience Hendrix Tour are Texas blues sensation Ally Venable, Chuck Campbell and Calvin Cooke (Slide Brothers), vocalist Noah Hunt and bassist Kevin McCormick (both of Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band), Mato Nanji (Indigenous), blues guitar prodigy Mathias Lattin, Brazilian guitarist Artur Menezes, vocalists Dylan Triplett and Henri Brown, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Chris Layton (Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble).
