Festivals are a great place to make lasting memories, and you can bet that one Shinedown fan at last weekend's Welcome to Rockville festival got a memory he'll never forget. Young Kale and his mother Jillian attended the event, and ended up walking away with a signature Zach Myers PRS guitar played just a few minutes before by the musician himself.

Myers and his Shinedown bandmates were performing at Welcome to Rockville and the mother and son had already been chosen from a meet-and-greet experience to hang side stage as the band played. As the show began to wind down, the guitarist walked over to Kale, took off his guitar and handed it to the super-stoked young fan, while his mother got a little emotional over the experience. Watch this moving moment featuring the power of music between band and fan in the video below.

Making it all the more special, it was one of Myers signature guitars and one he endorses for PRS. Check out Myers' SE guitar right here.

Shinedown are currently in the midst of playing U.S. dates, with the current leg set to wrap on May 26 in Dallas and including an appearance at Rocklahoma. The band will get a quick breather before returning to the stage June 21 in Texas, starting a summer tour with Badflower, Dinosaur Pile-Up and Broken Hands. See all of their tour dates listed below the photos. For ticketing information, click here.

The band continues to support their ATTENTION! ATTENTION! album, which is currently going strong with the single "Get Up." The group just recorded an uplifting piano-based version of the track, which is helping expand its reach at radio.
