Frontiers Music Srl has announced the signing of LYNYRD SKYNYRD, one of the most legendary and enduring bands in rock history. This partnership celebrates the band's incredible legacy while looking ahead to exciting new projects.
As part of this exciting new collaboration, the Frontiers label 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.
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.
Johnny Van Zant expressed his enthusiasm about the signing and the upcoming release: "50 years for LYNYRD SKYNYRD… WOW! We are so grateful to the devoted fans for their support throughout the years of transitions and losses. Last year we lost the great Mr. Gary Rossington. We unknowingly were able to capture his final performance with us. It's bittersweet but what a special place to have had his final performance, the mothership of music — The Ryman Auditorium!
"It was a very special night with incredibly talented guests as we honored the iconic musicality of SKYNYRD. We are so grateful to the Ryman and to all of those who have worked so hard to make this project become a reality! This will forever be a keepsake in our hearts, and we are so happy to be able to share it with our Skynyrd Nation," he continued.
"Few bands have left such a lasting impact on rock music as LYNYRD SKYNYRD," stated Serafino Perugino, president and CEO of Frontiers Label Group. "It is an honor to work with such an iconic name, and we can't wait to bring fans something truly special."
Tom Lipsky, head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, added: "Gary Rossington touched the world with his songwriting and inspired us for decades onstage. It is an honour to bring the words and music of LYNYRD SKYNYRD to the fans via Gary's final performance, surrounded by his LYNYRD SKYNYRD family as together they delivered an unforgettable concert experience at The Ryman!"
With over 28 million records sold in the U.S. and a sound as iconic as the American culture it celebrates, Rock And Roll Hall of Famers LYNYRD SKYNYRD continue to inspire fans of all ages while embodying the very soul of Southern rock.
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.
