Where were you when you first heard the irresistible opening bars of Sweet Home Alabama? 

​

A proud, hardworking, hell-raising American rock & roll band, Lynyrd Skynyrd achieved superstardom with a trio of astounding guitarists, a smokin' rhythm section and feel-good Southern-fried anthems that thrilled audiences around the world. 

Sweet Home Alabama. Gimme Three Steps. Simple Man. Tuesday’s
Gone. That Smell. You Got That Right. And a little tune you may have heard: Free Bird. These were rock classics long before Classic Rock.

Skynyrd’s success didn’t come from costumes or facepaint, but through astounding musicianship. The original Skynyrd is gone, but their music remains as fresh and compelling as ever. That’s why a group of us longtime Texas musicians is dedicated to faithfully recreating that high-energy Skynyrd concert experience: the award-winning Lone Star Skynyrd. Bringin’ the stomp and swagger and all the crowd-pleasing musical chops of Ronnie and the boys to your stage.
