Artist Bio:
Lynyrd Skynyrd is an American rock band formed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1964. The band gained fame for their Southern rock sound, characterized by their signature triple guitar attack and bluesy, soulful vocals. Lynyrd Skynyrd's most famous lineup consisted of Ronnie Van Zant (vocals), Gary Rossington (guitar), Allen Collins (guitar), Billy Powell (keyboard), Leon Wilkeson (bass), Ed King (guitar), and Artimus Pyle (drums).
The band is best known for their hit songs "Sweet Home Alabama," "Free Bird," and "Simple Man." Tragically, Lynyrd Skynyrd's original lineup was devastated by a plane crash in 1977 that claimed the lives of several members, including lead singer Ronnie Van Zant. Despite the tragedy, Lynyrd Skynyrd has continued to perform and record music with various lineup changes, and they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
