Greta Van Fleet To Perform At F.m. Kirby Center In Wilkes-barre Aug. 25

Close your eyes and the hard charging rock ‘n’ roll and high-register vocal howl of Greta Van Fleet invokes the sound of a classic British band that brought a heavy expression to American blues — a band that allegedly got its name when drummer for The Who Keith Moon joked their music would go over like a lead balloon following a recording session. That sonic similarity is no surprise as the Michigan rockers have openly said their sound is sculpted around the idea of creating a new chapter in the lineage of the British blues revolution that was spearheaded by bands like Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. “That British invasion is the reinterpretation of the blues,” guitarist Jake Kiszka said.
