Sacramento music enthusiasts were treated to a night of pure, unfiltered rock and roll with Myles Kennedy, Tim Montana, and Sons of Silver. The line snaking around the Ace of Spades was a clear indicator that the night was going to be unforgettable. Let’s break it down.

Kicking off the evening were the Los Angeles-based rockers, Sons of Silver. They’ve been on the road in support of their debut album, Runaway Emotions, which has been a resounding success so far. Their music skillfully blends tragedy, punk, and harmony, creating something truly unique. The band's lineup boasts former members from renowned '90s bands like Candlebox, Skillet, and Pearl Jam. Known for their energetic performances and neo-classical rock influences, Sons of Silver bring an engaging stage presence that sets them apart in today’s rock scene. The band's album Doomsday Noises was released in 2020, followed by Ordinary Sex Appeal in 2022, and their new album Runaway Emotions released in January 2025. With a growing fan base and increasing acclaim, they continue to captivate audiences as they share the stage with Myles Kennedy on this tour.

Next up was the dynamic performer and direct support act, Tim Montana, a country-rock artist hailing from Montana. Dubbed the "single-wide survivor" and an "off-grid wonder," Montana fired up the crowd alongside his band, affectionately known as the “Shrednecks.” While he’s widely celebrated for his collaboration with Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Montana proved that he’s more than capable of holding his own. His sound mixes country, heavy metal, and raw rock and roll, drawing from personal tragedies to craft deeply resonant songs. His performance included tracks from his upcoming 2024 release, Savage, featuring songs like "The Devil You Know." He also surprised the audience with a unique take on 2Pac’s "California Love." Lyrically, Montana doesn’t shy away from heavy subjects such as domestic violence, addiction, and abuse, giving his songs a weighty, authentic feel. Backed by his incredible stage presence and a tight-knit band, Tim Montana delivered a performance that solidified his place as a rising star.

Finally, the highlight of the evening arrived—Myles Kennedy took the stage. The packed house eagerly awaited the rock maestro himself, and he delivered as expected. Performing solo, without Slash, Kennedy commanded the crowd with ease, a testament to his prowess as a performer. This tour, in support of his third solo album The Art of Letting Go, has been a success across the board, and Sacramento was no exception. Known for his powerful vocals and dynamic stage presence, Kennedy impressed with deeply soulful guitar tones and vocals that were both soothing and mesmerizing.

The performance showcased Kennedy both as a solo artist and as the frontman of Alter Bridge, backed by the talented Zia Uddin on drums and bassist-manager Tim Tournier. This power trio delivered some of the most electrifying rock and roll I’ve seen in a long time. The setlist was expansive, including a cover of Alter Bridge’s "Lover," older tracks like "Say What You Will," and new music such as "Nothing More to Gain" from his latest release. His emotional delivery and connection to the audience shone brightly, leaving no doubt that Myles Kennedy is in a league of his own.

This high-caliber performance made for an unforgettable evening. If this tour comes to your town, don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of Myles Kennedy and his incredible band live.
