“As a musician who tours a lot you need to know how to handle your voice so that you don’t blow it” – Myles Kennedy reveals his story as a rock vocalist

With two solo efforts under his belt and sold-out headline tours in the rearview, iconic frontman, instrumentalist, and “one of rock’s finest vocalists” (KERRANG!), Myles Kennedy (Alter Bridge, Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators), is guided by a sense of keenly honed intuition on his third full-length album, “The Art of Letting Go”, out October 11, 2024, via Napalm Records. The album follows 2021’s acclaimed “The Ides of March”, which notched a total of four #1 debuts across three countries, topping the US Top Current Hard Music Chart, the UK Official Rock & Metal Chart and Official Independent Album Chart, and Canada’s Hard Music Albums Chart.

In 2023, Kennedy returned to Studio Barbarosa in Florida to record what would become “The Art of Letting Go” with longtime producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette. Joined by bandmates Zia Uddin [drums] and Tim Tournier [bass], he approached the sessions with a clear and cohesive intent. While his previous outputs boasted more acoustic and roots elements, this time around, Kennedy & Co. delivered a record that could be performed as a trio without having to reimagine arrangements – resulting in a more riff-heavy, guitar-driven sound.  Myles Kennedy‘s hope with “The Art of Letting Go” is to provide listeners with an escape, empowerment, healing, and the comfort that we’re all in this together. Kennedy offers:

“I’ve realized you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone but you. Do the best you can, remember you’ve got a gift, and use it.”
