"...spotlights Myles's tough guitar playing and devastating singing.
- Tom Hyslop - Blues Revue Magazine

Myles' song selections on 'Reconsider Me' (2014), 'Rush to Red' (2015) & 'With These Blues' (2017), produced in San Jose, Ca. with Chris 'Kid' Andersen at his Greaseland Studio, vary from originals and choice covers, ranging traditional electric blues of the 60's and 70's into southern rock and blues-rock. On his current release 'Transitory' (2021), Myles steps into the engineering and production chair himself, displaying his talents as writer, engineer, producer, guitarist and singer. Recorded within the confines of his home studio and tracked along with his live band, Myles presented in completion, all the instrumental parts to his longtime rhythm section of bassist Phil Santellan and drummer Brian Bischel. The results were musically interpreted by the band into incredible performances resulting in an intuitive and organic recording. The all self-penned album tracks 'Upstairs, That Was Her' and the tour de force 'Say What You Want' showcase fierce rock n roll guitar and vocal chops, following right in line with the clever dream rocker 'To Dark To Cross' and the bluesy rocker 'Alibi' , which further showcase his musical depth and lyrical songwriting.

"Perhaps the only soulful thing to come out of Fresno, AC Myles can play the hell out of a guitar, and he's growing as a songwriter" - San Jose Metro Editor Steve Palopoli

The only son of production workers, Myles grew up in the migrant worker neighborhoods of Central California, spending his later teens and twenties touring with his own band. Finding his way to the San Francisco Bay Area & Los Angeles, he played sideman to an array of acts and begun touring nationally and internationally. Utilizing past experiences with 'Transitory', the albums original instrumentals 'Sonder City', 'Tunnel', & 'Dirty Dark' are genre jumping from slick big city guitar lines, eliminator like heavy riffs into experimental electronic bass and drums. Myles also brilliantly displays his songwriting abilities to crossover as effortlessly as some larger drawing acts wish to. The catchy pop rock 'Moment Match Flash', '3 Ways to Fall' and southern rock slide guitar and radio ready chorus of 'Other Side', prove there are more than 4 sides to the musical box he inhabits. Transitory reinforces the point that AC Myles is one of those performers, that once seen and heard, you never forget.
