"FREEBIRD" Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute

About Me

XX XX *******WE ARE LONG ISLAND'S LYNYRD SKYNYRD TRIBUTE BAND!!********We are six regular guys who just happen to love Lynyrd Skynyrd's music. With Al on vocals singing in that gritty, soulful and sometimes sweet voice of Ronnie Van Zant. Brothers Tom and Timmy shredding the Guitars in the stylings of Rossington, Collins and Gaines. Jimmy playing the honky tonk Piano stylings of Billy Powell. Jim walking all over his Bass like the late great Leon Wilkeson. And Frank banging away on the Drums in the stylings of Atrimus Pyle. We all love to perform Skynyrd's music the way it was meant to be played, note for note. Skynyrd had a great sound when performing live as evidenced on the, "One More From The Road" album. We try our best to recapture that sound and bring it to all of the Skynyrd fans that come to see us play. We hope to see you at one of our shows and let you decide for yourself. Peace! "WHAT SONG IS IT YOU WANNA HEAR?" FREEBIRD!................................................... .........Long Islands Only Classic Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band "FREEBIRD" is a band that exclusively plays the great songs of one of the best bands ever, Lynyrd Skynyrd. "FREEBIRD" is a "Sound-Alike Tribute" band, faithfully playing and sounding just like the real deal. Skynyrd wrote and played some the most rockin', high-energy, fun, kick-ass music ever done. "FREEBIRD" is out to play those great songs as close to the originals as possible. Lynyrd Skynyrd really knew how to rock and create great music. So why mess with a great thing...You’ll hear the Skynyrd standards like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, Ooh That Smell and of course Freebird. And you’ll hear excellent songs that you may not have heard in a while like Gimme Back My Bullets, Whiskey Rock-a-Roller, Needle and the Spoon, You Got That Right and T for Texas. And you’ll hear some Skynyrd songs you may not have heard for a long, long time like Swamp Music, The Ballad of Curtis Lowe, Ain't No Good Life, Coming Home and Double Trouble...Come see a "FREEBIRD" show, close your eyes and you’ll swear that the original Lynyrd Skynyrd was reborn and playin right there in front of you on the stage..."FREEBIRD" is a group of musicians who are crazy about Skynyrd, love playing their music, and want the crowd to get up, dance, jump around, yell, hoot and have a great time listening to Skynyrd the way it's supposed to be played. Most of the members have been playing in"FREEBIRD" since September 2002, though they’ve been playing and singing Skynyrd in other groups for many years. Three of the band members are brothers—guitarists Tom and Timmy, who founded "FREEBIRD", along with George, who handles equipment, sound and lighting. The band really operates as a family, which is appropriate since the original Skynyrd was always like a family...................................................... ............................................................ ..................... THIS BAND IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMBERS OF LYNYRD SKYNYRD LIVING AND DECEASED.

We are very honored that we were invited to participate in this fundraising event for Jimmy. Although none of us in the band knew Jimmy personally, we all felt a feeling of pride just knowing what Jim...
