Orianthi, the Australian-born guitar phenom, has fans buzzing after she shared a behind-the-scenes peek at her latest gear upgrade—and teased a day packed with high-profile magazine interviews. In a recent Instagram post, the six-string superstar wrote, “Got my guitar pillars !!! Interviews today !! @classicrockmag @powerplaymagazine @rcmagazine_uk 🎞️🎞️😇,” revealing both her excitement and her schedule for the day.
The Big Reveal
The focal point of Orianthi’s post was her freshly arrived “guitar pillars,” custom stands designed to display and support her prized instruments during photo shoots and live video sessions. The image shows her in a minimalist studio, smiling beside several sleek guitar pillars that cradle her signature Ivories and Strats. While the term “guitar pillars” may be new to some, these stands ensure her guitars are front and center—perfect for print and digital spreads where every detail counts.
Magazine Roundtable
By tagging three major rock titles—Classic Rock, PowerPlay Magazine and Rock Candy (rcmagazine_uk)—Orianthi signaled a media blitz. Classic Rock recently featured her single “Attention” as a contender for Single of the Week, and PowerPlay has spotlighted her technical prowess across multiple cover stories. Rock Candy, known for in-depth features on guitar legends, is poised to dig into her latest recording process and gear choices.
This trio of interviews comes as she preps her next full-length release, Some Kind of Feeling, set to drop early next year. In an earlier Instagram update, Orianthi reminded followers that they can pre-order the album now (“Pre order my new record #somekindoffeeling over here – https://orcd.co/OrianthiSKOF 📸 @shanahanphoto”) and encouraged fans to vote for her track “Attention” on ClassicRockMag’s website.
Building On Recent Momentum
Orianthi’s schedule also includes live streamed chats and fan Q&A sessions. In one Instagram story, she shared a snapshot of her set list and teased, “See you all in Europe soon – orianthi.me for tickets 🎭.” Her touring calendar shows dates across the UK, Germany and the Netherlands, giving European fans a chance to catch her electrifying stage performance.
Her social feed highlights more than just interviews. A post about her supergroup collaboration with Cindy Blackman Santana and Rhonda Smith—“The band #3 #supergroup @cindyblackmansantana @rhondasmithbass new album will be getting mixed this month and out soon !!” —shows she’s juggling multiple projects. Between album prep, magazine features and gear showcases, Orianthi looks determined to make 2024 her busiest year yet.
About Orianthi
Born Orianthi Panagaris in Adelaide, Australia, she was catapulted to fame after touring with Michael Jackson and later joining Alice Cooper’s band. Her solo breakout came in 2009 with the platinum-selling Believe album, featuring the hit single “According to You.” Since then, she’s released several studio albums—Heaven in This Hell (2013) and O (2020)—and has earned acclaim for her blistering solos, songwriting chops and signature style.
Her gear endorsements include PRS Guitars, Gibson and Ernie Ball strings, but her new guitar pillars suggest she’s looking for fresh ways to showcase her instruments when she’s offstage. With interviews lined up in three leading music publications, fans and fellow guitarists will soon get insider access to her creative process, gear insights and upcoming plans.
Between sharing candid studio moments and teasing new music, Orianthi’s Instagram has become a hub for guitar lovers and rock fans alike. As she steps in front of the cameras for Classic Rock, PowerPlay and Rock Candy, one thing is clear: she’s ready to elevate the conversation about modern rock guitar—and her new guitar pillars are just the beginning.
