Lynyrd Skynyrd stands as one of America’s most enduring musical institutions, the band that didn’t just play Southern rock, but defined it. For over fifty years, their unmistakable blend of blues, country, boogie and hardedged rock has inspired generations of fans. From lifelong devotees to newcomers discovering the power of “Free Bird” for the first time, Skynyrd’s music continues to resonate with a force few bands can match.

Formed in Jacksonville, Florida by a group of determined highschool musicians, the band’s early years were marked by relentless touring, raw talent, and a name borrowed from a strict P.E. teacher, a tongueincheek nod that would soon become legendary.

The band hit the ground running on their debut album with future classics like Tuesday's Gone, Simple Man and the monumental Free Bird, followed by more albums and more classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Call Me The Breeze, and Saturday Night Special.  Lynyrd Skynyrd became a staple of rock radio and a defining voice of the American South. Their fiery threeguitar attack, heartfelt songwriting, and electrifying stage presence earned them a reputation as one of the most powerful live acts of the 1970s.

Tragedy struck in 1977, when flying to a  gig in Baton Rouge, Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and his sister back-up singer Cassie Gaines as well as their road manager perish in the crash, and leaving the surviving band members severely injured. However the band’s story didn’t end, rising again a decade later, Lynyrd Skynyrd entered a new era with fresh energy, new members, and a renewed commitment to honoring the legacy of those they lost.
