Lone Star Skynyrd is a Dallas, Texas brotherhood of longtime musicians who feel privileged to recreate the timeless Skynyrd songs ingrained in the American consciousness. We play these songs because fans still play these songs. From “Sweet Home Alabama, “Gimme Three Steps,’ “Tuesday's Gone,’ “Free Bird;” and everything in between, these astounding classics always receive a passionate response from every audience everywhere we play.
Our band stays true to the original Skynyrd approach of a trio of exceptional guitarists, a rhythm section that punches like Ali in his prime, honky tonk piano and forceful vocals that are augmented with sweet female harmonies.
In October of 2022 Lone Star Skynyrd won Tribute Band Of The Year at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee from the prestigious Josie Music Awards for Independent Artists and in 2023 we were nominated for a second time. Lone Star Skynyrd counts among its many fans, current Lynyrd Skynyrd vocalist Johnny Van Zant who likes to "thank Lone Star Skynyrd for help keeping the Skynyrd music alive’ and original Skynyrd guitar tech and plane crash survivor Craig Reed who calls Lone Star Skynyrd “Impressive, to say the least" and fellow plane crash survivor Gene Odom who was also Security Manager for Skynyrd '75-'77 and life long friend of Ronnie Van Zant. Odom says "Lone Star Skynyrd is the closest thing to Skynyrd I've heard since the plane crash’. Lone Star Skynyrd has been fortunate enough to be booked with national acts such as Charlie Daniels Band, Georgia Satellites, Wade Bowen, Cody Canada, Molly Hatchet, Thirty Eight Special, Kentucky Headhunters, Dallas Moore, Lita Ford, Creed Fisher and Roger Creager.
More than a tribute. More than a good-time party.
