Celebrating 50 Years - Live At The Ryman
Frontiers Music will release 'Celebrating 50 Years - Live At The Ryman', a live album and DVD capturing Lynyrd Skynyrd’s historic 50th-anniversary concert at Nashville’s legendary venue in 2022. This special release holds profound significance as it features the final performance of founding member Gary Rossington. Featuring guests such as Jelly Roll, Brent Smith (Shinedown), John Osborne (The Brothers Osborne), Marcus King, Donnie Van Zant (38 Special), and more, the album showcases the band's unparalleled energy, their signature blend of blues rock and Southern hard rock swagger and stands as both a heartfelt tribute to Rossington and a celebration of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s lasting legacy in music history.
In 2023, with the 50th anniversary of their pioneering debut album '(Pronounced 'Leh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd)' the band continues to tour, record, and delight their hundreds of millions of global fans with an eye on both the future and their rich history. Originally formed in 1964 as My Backyard, the band evolved into Lynyrd Skynyrd in 1968, with a lineup featuring Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Gary Rossington (guitar), Allen Collins (guitar), Larry Junstrom (bass), and Bob Burns (drums).
Their 1973 debut album introduced the world to their unmistakable blend of blues, country, and hard rock. Hits like 'Sweet Home Alabama' and the timeless 'Free Bird' cemented their status as pioneers of the genre. At the peak of their success, in 1977, a devastating plane crash claimed the lives of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backup vocalist Cassie Gaines, leaving the music world in shock. Despite the unimaginable loss, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s legacy endured, and their music remained a beacon of Southern rock.
In 1987, the band reformed with Ronnie’s younger brother, Johnny Van Zant, taking the lead as lead vocalist. Lynyrd Skynyrd continued to tour and record, with guitarist Rickey Medlocke returning to the fold in 1996. Throughout the years, the band remained a driving force in rock, honouring their roots while bringing their signature sound to new audiences. Recognized as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Lynyrd Skynyrd was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and ranked No. 95 on Rolling Stone’s list of the '100 Greatest Artists Of All Time.'
With over 28 million records sold in the United States alone, their impact on music is undeniable. Though founding member Gary Rossington’s passing in 2023 marked the end of an era, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s influence remains stronger than ever. Their enduring music, spirit, and legacy will forever stand as a testament to the power of rock and roll.
