Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge: Tea Time Interview with Elizabeth Zharoff

Myles Kennedy, the man, the legend! We've heard his solo work, his work with Alter Bridge and singing alongside David Draiman covering Simon & Garfunkel's "The Sound of Silence". And now we sit down with some tea and talk about vocal technique, warming up the voice, aplets and cotlets, and what allergies are like in Eastern Washington. This conversation is a masterclass in voice!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she sits with Myles Kennedy in another Tea Time interview series!

As a Spokane native, this was fun.
Miles, I still have a Citizen Swing cassette tape. :)

Elizabeth is so kind and respectful to people. A definite role model.

Next Myles reaction needs to be Alter Bridge - Words Darker Than Their Wings live at Royal Albert Hall!

I remember the moment I discovered Myles and the Mayfield Four. I was 17 and there was a concert at Riverfront Park in Spokane. It was a weird lineup of bands, but enjoyable, and then Mayfield Four came on and blew the rest of them out of the water. The energy in the crowd surged up for the first time in the whole afternoon. When Myles started singing I was like, "Who is this guy? He should be a rock star!" And then he started in on a guitar solo and the kids lost their minds. I remember watching him play and praying that one day I would find something I felt as much passion for as he clearly did for music. I told my guitar teacher I'd seen the show and he said in his opinion Myles was the best guitarist working in Spokane. So happy for his continued success. Thank you, Elizabeth, for this interview and this whole interview series. Long, in-depth conversations like this are so appreciated.

[Renee-py]

I’m so impressed with Myles. He’s humble, intelligent and so positive. A musical gift to all. If I could pick one human being to clone it would be Myles. Music is so important for the soul.

[joshallenatomictransport]

ABSOLUTE AMAZING INTERVIEW!!!! Great job, Elizabeth! You let Myles speak and didn’t overtalk and the interview was more of a conversation which kept the audience engaged.

[pamipandimonium]

We were lucky enough to meet Myles and Slash after their 2010 show in Edinburgh. Slash was signing autographs, Myles came over to chat with my daughter who was just blown away by how delightful he was. Modest guy with an enormous talent. My favourite live shows. Watching him be so emersed in the moment is a joy.

[ericd]

I've been wanting this ever since you reacted to "Watch Over You" Myles is amazing and so down to earth! I hope one day you review "Words Darker Than Their Wings" live from Royal Albert Hall!

[jeremenelson]

Myles was my old guitar teacher back in the day great guy and so proud of what he has done.

[janapossel]

Myles is such an exceptional person. I vividly remember the first time I saw him live. He was touring with Slash and performing Guns n Roses stuff - I had no idea who he was, just super excited to finally get to hear GNR songs live. And then Myles started singing and I was like, OMG, that's how good these songs can sound?! But what made it special for me was this moment: The concert hall was packed full with grumpy looking men, not moving or reacting emotionally in any way, even when they played Sweet Child of Mine or sth. while I was just soo excited. Finally I made my way to the front bit somehow, where people where dancing and enjoying the show. And that very moment I emerged from the crowd and started dancing my ass of, I swear Myles looked at me smiling, even waved his arm at me with a gesture that said "You go, girl!". Needless to say, I feel in love instantly.

Long story short, I haven't missed a concert with him since, be it with Slash, Alter Bridge or his solo gigs. He just has this aura of a really kind and special person. And he can sing, ofc.

[edoardoalves]

I didn't know that I needed this interview so much!! But I need more Alter Bridge's reaction videos too 😊

[lovick]

Thanks Elizabeth and Myles!

I’ve been a huge Alter Bridge fan since the first album. And I’ve watched a ton of your reaction videos, Elizabeth. (Well done!)

I’m a long-time guitarist and percussionist. But the process of exploring my vocal capacity is fairly new for me. Videos like this are amazing for my journey.

Thanks so much to both of you for taking the time to put these things together for the rest of us.

Cheers!
Tim

I was introduced to Myles and Alter Bridge by Elizabeth's "Watch Over You" reaction, and was blown away by his voice. Myles is considered a modern rock god, but I get major Tom Petty and NeilYoung vibes from him. Obviously his vocal ability is on another level but he seems to have an old soul. Looks like the Charismatic Crew has produced another fun. informative conversation between individuals who are as charmingly real as they are freakishly talented. Friday now seems Myles away. 🤘

[scionofdorn]

Words cannot covey how happy I am to see you interviewing my favorite vocalist (honorable mention to Neil Fallon of Clutch and the late greats, Chris Cornell and Layne Staley) from my favorite band, Alter Bridge. I'm a lifelong fan of Mark Tremonti (Creed, Alter Bridge, Tremonti; all see extensive playtime in my home) and as a guitarist, he and Myles are the guitarists I WISH I could be even a fraction as good as. And, as if that weren't enough to envy, BOTH of them have amazing voices, and Myles is, simply put, GOD-TIER.

Their new album, Pawns & Kings, is just 1000% brilliant from start to finish.

No joke, they are a big influence in my life, so much so that I had "Blackbird" played at my mother's funeral in 2020. She's the one that influenced me to love rock guitar and encouraged me to learn on my hand-me-down Fender Stratocaster (a hand me down from a previous family tragedy). The song was a fitting tribute to her passing.

[themechaniacal]

Myles is hands down my favorite singer of now.

[amayap]

Myles is such a sweetheart and a incredible musician ❤ i love him so much

[OJJ]

What seems to set him apart from others is his complete lack of ego. At times it felt like he was interviewing you and he was genuinely interested in learning. What an amazing example of talent. They say to never meet your heros but I feel those that meet Myles would never be disappointed.

[zakkwyldesdmf]

I like how this develops in a conversation rather than an interview with also Myles asking Elizabeth questions. That's the point when I get really interested in such formats (and why there should be more interviewers who are actually at least accomplished musicians).

[andrewbendahan]

28:18 was when I realized that Myles Kennedy is insane. Love you Myles!

[lurkingturkey]

Myles Kennedy: "I live to deliver." Enough said.
