Goldenvoice presents Myles Kennedy as part of the Art Of Letting Go Tour at the El Rey Theatre. Tim Montana and Sons of Silver are also on the bill. Myles Kennedy’s Year of the Tiger is a deeply personal lyrically driven semi-acoustic album. “This record is my attempt to convey things that I’ve needed to express for a long time. What I found hiding in the deep, dark corners of my psyche was difficult to face, but in the end, what came out of the creative process was very cathartic.”
