Lynyrd Skynyrd - Residenzschloss Mergentheim

In the organizer's words:

With a catalog of over 60 albums, billions of streams, tens of millions of records sold and hits and classics like "Sweet Home Alabama," "Gimme Three Steps," "Simple Man" and "Free Bird," rock & roll hall-of-fame stars Lynyrd Skynyrd are a cultural icon that speaks to all generations.

More than half a century after the release of their critically acclaimed debut album "Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd", Lynyrd Skynyrd continues to thrill their cross-generational fan base today just as they did when they first performed in Jacksonville, Florida in 1973.

Few ensembles have had as great an impact on an entire generation as Skynyrd. The band has made it their life's work to honor all those who have made a lasting contribution to the lives of hundreds of millions of fans worldwide.

Former members Ronnie Van Zant, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Steve Gaines, Ed King, Billy Powell, Bob Burns and Leon Wilkeson, among others, will forever remain significant contributors to the band's resilient repertoire and colorful history.

Today, Lynyrd Skynyrd continues to rock with the current lineup of Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Damon Johnson, Mark "Sparky" Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Carol Chase and Stacy Michelle.

The Southern rock legend is constantly on tour, and as Van Zant says, "It's about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd and what it stands for, what the fans are all about. There's nothing better than going on stage with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music."
