As we enter the new year, it is time to look back at all the amazing musicians we saw in 2018. From intimate performances to arena concerts, to festivals and more, great live music was everywhere. Check out our list of the Top Live Performances of 2018 for Music Junkie Press! Topping our list is none other than Greta Van Fleet, who are like a pair of shock paddles resuscitating the life of Rock n Roll. We were fortunate to catch four of their California shows in 2018. Within the last decade, we have seen many bands deliver some good blips on the heartline of the rock and roll, but none as huge as the spike that Greta Van Fleet is making. They are bringing a full on resuscitation to ROCK ‘N ROLL so get ready, hang on and enjoy the ride. The first show we saw this year was at the John Anson Ford Amphitheater: “The crowd grew to capacity as Greta Van Fleet were to take the stage.

The Wrecks are currently out on tour with New Politics for their Lost In Translation Tour, along with Dreamers. The tour has been wildly successful and the energy has been non-stop. We recently caught up with The Wrecks as they performed at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. They hit the stage and they fueled the crowd and got everyone moving. The audience sang along to their favorite tracks and were already well versed on the new songs from their recently released EP Panic Vertigo. Check out the photos from their set: The Wrecks recently released their self-produced EP Panic Vertigo and we had a chance to talk with them about their new EP as well as their upcoming performance at BottleRock Napa.

NEW POLITICS Interview with Music Junkie Press at The Fillmore in SF

It was one show that we had waited months for, and it was finally approaching. Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters performing at the Fox Theater in Oakland. It was one of the shows that kept us going with anticipation and excitement as we tried to recover from the devastating loss of our home and business in the Santa Rosa firestorms in October 2017. It gave us the strength and hope to move forward, for us to see Robert Plant perform in the theater style setting of the Fox Theater. Well, it not only lived up to all of our expectations, it exceeded them.

After the fire, the way I listened to music drastically changed. I could barely stand to hear the word “fire” or “smoke” in a song and when I did, I would instantly succumb to the horrors of our experience and relive it detail by detail. Carry Fire came out the week of our fire and I remember sitting in a hotel room with our family, not even knowing if our home even existed anymore. I had the album come through on my playlist and I would listen to the songs, all except the title track. I fell in love with Heaven Sent, The May Queen and A Way With Words. It was an album that truly showcases Robert’s larger-than-life vocals, all the while delivering an intense and raw honesty that soothes your soul. Carry Fire was still a song that I had set aside to listen to later. On the night of February 28th that all changed.

That night, the word “Fire” took on a whole new meaning for me. It no longer carried the horrors of our past, it was replaced with a fire of spirit, a fire of hope, a yearning to move forward from my old life, which had been turned upside down. As Robert performed Carry Fire at the Fox Theater, I stood in awe of how beautiful this song is and I truly felt a peace come over myself, as it comforted me, amid all my sorrows and let me know, “it will all be okay”. We all have our scars, yet we all also carry fire. I now carry fire for my life, the life it was and the life it will be. It was a surreal moment and once again proved to me how magical music is. Thank you Robert, for your gift of music that took away all the pain and suffering that was attached to a simple word. Now at our house, we crank up the whole Carry Fire album and we can’t wait to see Robert perform again.

PRS have announced a new John Mayer signature model: The Silver Sky. Check out the details below:

The PRS Silver Sky is the result of a close collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician John Mayer and Paul Reed Smith. More than two and half years in the making, the Silver Sky is a vintage-inspired instrument that is both familiar and uniquely PRS.

This model, which has been a highly-anticipated announcement since Mayer was first seen with one back in the spring of 2017, was inspired by Mayer and Smith’s favorite elements of 1963 and 1964 vintage instruments, resulting in an idealized version of a vintage single-coil guitar. The attention that was paid to every detail sets this guitar apart.

“It’s been a dream of mine for years to design a guitar that includes some of my favorite vintage specifications but with a modern spirit and aesthetic. After two years of study and refinement, the Silver Sky is my vision of what a reboot of the electric guitar should look and feel like,” said John Mayer.

Some of the more distinctive specifications include, a “reverse” PRS trademark headstock shape, vintage-style tuners with PRS’s locking design, a 25.5” scale length bolt-on maple neck with Mayer’s signature 635JM carve, 7.25” fretboard radius, a steel PRS tremolo bridge with PRS trem arm, saddles, and Gen-III knife-edge screws, a trio of special PRS 635JM single-coil pickups, and precision-tuned electronics.

When Mayer’s longtime-tech René Martinez (former tech for Stevie Ray Vaughan, Carlos Santana, and Prince) was asked what he thought of the new guitar, he said, “the first thing I thought about was how it felt, especially the neck, and it just feels good. Playing all the way up and down the neck, bending the strings, everything works and feels right. As far as the pickups and the sound goes, it’s unique while sounding familiar, and there are five distinct tones – as a single-coil guitar should have…It’s a fun guitar to play.”

Other high-quality specifications include a bone nut, a curved molded metal jack plate that makes plugging and unplugging a guitar cable hassle-free, retooled knobs, fretwire that is slightly smaller than what you’d find on most PRS electric guitars (but larger than most vintage frets), and PRS’s double action truss rod (accessible from the front of the headstock for ease of use). The Silver Sky comes in four colors with distinctive accents on PRS’s trademark lower horn scoop.

“Everything about this guitar has to work. It has to play in tune, stay in tune, not buzz, sound beautiful, have very good signal to noise ratio, and feel familiar and comfortable. By paying attention to all the details, we were able to create an instrument that John is very pleased with and that we are very proud of,” Paul Reed Smith, PRS Guitars Founder.

The PRS Silver Sky will start shipping on March 20, 2018. The first 500 guitars to ship to dealers and distributors worldwide from PRS Guitars’ Maryland, USA factory will include a commemorative hardshell case. The Silver Sky model will then ship in a newly-designed, premium gig bag.

For complete Silver Sky specifications, videos, and more, please visit www.prsguitars.com

We have so many exciting things to share with you all from our NAMM trip! Of course, it wouldn’t be NAMM without an interview with one of the hardest working musicians, Justin Emord of Love and a .38. Justin started his NAMM week off early with NAMM’s Foundation Day of Service helping kids learn music. His band also performed at the new NAMM Arena Plaza Stage on Friday and they truly rocked the stage! Justin also gave a very informative seminar on acquiring sponsorships and he even acquired several new sponsorships himself.

We had a chance to catch up with Justin and are pleased to bring you that interview here:

This was quite a hard NAMM for us to cover, after losing the business and our home in the Santa Rosa fires but talking with Justin, you can’t help but feel optimistic about the future. He truly shines in his field and his passion for music is inspiring and invigorating. Thank you Justin for all that you do!

We can’t wait for some new Love and a .38 music. Their set at NAMM had a great crowd of dedicated fans and a whole new crowd of new fans. We could see people diverting from entering the convention center and make a b-line to the stage to check out these rockers. They always put on a full on rock show and you just can’t get enough. Check out some photos by our Rockin Ryan:
