Rock band, Greta Van Fleet, made their way to Texas for an incredible night full of peace, love, and unity. Fans of all ages packed into the AT&T Center in San Antonio to watch brothers Josh Kiszka, Jake Kiszka, Sam Kiszka, and good friend Danny Wagner put on an absolutely incredible performance. Early into the night, lead singer Josh Kiszka mentioned how he had been at the doctor’s that day with bronchitis, but as soon as he stepped on the stage and saw everyone and felt their energy, felt 100% better. No one could have guessed he was under the weather as he still put everything he had into an incredible performance. They played fan favorites including Heat Above, Age of Man, and Light my Love which received a roar from the crowd after the first few notes were played. Greta Van Fleet has quickly risen to stardom in the past couple years formulating a strong community of fans who travel all across the country for shows and camp for days for the pit to experience the light and love this band provides. The overarching message the band shares is one of peace, love, and unity and whether you’re front row in the pit, or the very last seats in the stadium, this message is one that is easily felt and received. The energy and love felt at a Greta Van Fleet show is like no other. You can walk into a show not knowing a single person and walk out with a group of new best friends - connected solely for your love of this band and the music they create. The amount of talent on the stage is truly magnificent and every show leaves you wanting to see them again and again. Josh Kiszka’s blend of ethereal qualities and powerhouse rock vocals never fail to amaze concert goers and make him one of the most unique and powerful voices in music today. Josh’s vocals connect with the listener transporting them through spiritual realms feeling heightened levels of existence through sound. Jake Kiszka was recently recognized as one of the best rock guitarists in music today which is a title he sure lives up to during live performances, shredding on his signature ‘61 Gibson Les Paul SG. Watching Jake Kiszka play live is like watching Van Gogh paint, it is an art form which captures your full attention leaving you enthralled in a trance of musical genius. Sam Kiskza’s bass and keys playing is hypnotic as you watch him feel every note that is released from his hands into the universe - feeling the bass and organ in your soul connecting you to the music on a deeper, physical, and more emotional level. Danny, an honorary brother, brings everything together with his electrifying drums highlighted during an exhilarating drum solo which sends fans into a frenzy. Concert goers will for sure “hear the drums pound.” It is clear this band has an extreme amount of passion and appreciation for true rock music seldom seen today which translates to their performances.
