What it was like
Few guitarists alive play the blues like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who has been melting faces since he was a teenager; pairing him with the Grammy-winning bluesman Bobby Rush makes this one of the best blues bills to hit the Temecula Valley all year. South Coast Winery's Rhythm on the Vine series sets it all in the Vintner's Garden, an intimate outdoor stage surrounded by vineyards. Sunday, September 7, 2026, at South Coast Winery Resort in Temecula. Come for searing slide guitar and deep Delta soul, bring a bottle and a blanket, and let the blues roll across the vines as the sun goes down. If you have ever chased a guitar tone down a rabbit hole, this is your church. This is the real thing, playing in your own backyard. Come get the blues, the good kind.
