Myles Kennedy on ‘The Art of Letting Go’ [Interview]
Myles Kennedy has kept pretty busy over the last several years. Since 2018, his musical output includes two releases with Alter Bridge, two more with Slash and The Conspirators, and three solo efforts, the most recent of which came out last October via Napalm Records. Brent Porche spoke with Myles just before the release of his newest solo album The Art of Letting Go.
Brent and Myles dive into the many layers of the record: the lead single “Say What You Will” and the accompanying video, the supporting players on the album, the cover art, and Myles’ tour, which arrives in Philly this Saturday (1/25) at the Keswick Theater in Glenside, PA. Tim Montana and Sons of Silver will open the show, and you can get your tickets here.
We got updates on his bandmates’ projects, too; he talked about Mark Tremonti’s new Sinatra tribute, Slash’s collection of blues covers, plus his thoughts on Creed’s recent reunion, and if there is anything in the works to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Alter Bridge’s debut album One Day Remains.
Myles is a big believer in musical access for all. He and his wife Selena have a great organization called The Future Song Foundation, which provides funding to ensure that kids have access to musical instruction and instruments which are fundamental parts of a complete education. He told Brent all about their mission and how to help the next generation through music.
We’ll see you at the Myles Kennedy show at the Keswick this Saturday! Get more gigs on MMR’s official Concert Calendar.
