Some concerts we experience simply as spectators. Others feel like a story that is still being written.

The visit of Alter Bridge to Paris was one of those moments. An intense, powerful and deeply felt evening — and for us at Matt’s Guitar Shop, a particularly emotional one. Our relationship with Myles Kennedy goes back many years. Over time, a genuine sense of trust has grown between the Shop and one of the most respected voices in modern rock.

Watching Alter Bridge set Paris ablaze is witnessing a true display of mastery and sincerity. Myles Kennedy’s voice, as precise and soulful as ever, carries each song with the intensity that defines him. On stage, the band moves effortlessly between massive power and more introspective moments. The Parisian crowd understood it instantly: total communion, choruses sung in unison, chills guaranteed.

Their latest album confirms this artistic maturity. More nuanced, sometimes darker, yet still driven by strong compositions and instantly memorable melodies, it shows a band that continues to evolve without ever losing its identity. The riffs are razor-sharp, the arrangements richer, and Myles Kennedy’s songwriting gains even greater emotional depth. Alter Bridge isn’t just enduring — they are building a modern legacy, album after album.

And because some stories never end at the edge of the stage… we recently received the latest guitar born from the collaboration between Myles Kennedy and PRS. A true PRS piece, faithful to a partnership that has produced some of the most inspiring instruments of recent years. A guitar designed for the stage, for precision, for power — played by Myles himself.

We won’t say too much for now. But we can already promise that it deserves your full attention…

The Paris concert was a powerful moment. The arrival of this new PRS is its natural continuation. At Matt’s Guitar Shop, we are fortunate to experience these moments up close — close to the artists, close to the instruments, and close to the emotion.
