RSE Presents: Lynyrd Skynyrd to Perform at Cedar Park Center January 28

Cedar Park, Texas (December 14, 2015) -Ryan Sanders Entertainment announced the return of rock and roll powerhouse Lynyrd Skynyrd to the Austin area with a performance at Cedar Park Center January 28, 2016 at 7:30 p.m. The legacy began some 41 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida, and halted for a decade by the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. Since then, the band tragically lost Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Huey Thomasson, yet Lynyrd Skynyrd rocks on with original member Gary Rossington joined by Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlock, Mark "Sparky" Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Johnny Colt, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase.
 

And so Skynyrd stands, "still unbroken." "People may say, 'they need the money,' well I don't think any of us need the money," Van Zant says. "It's just that we love the music, it's bigger than the money, it's not even about that any more. We have to make a living, sure, but it's about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what it stands for, what the fans are all about. There's nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music."

Adds Rossington, "We're still standing, still keeping the music going. We wanted to do the guys who aren't with us any more proud, and keep the name proud, too."

With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem "Sweet Home Alabama" having over two million downloaded ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations. 

Tickets for the Austin area performance go on sale Friday, December 18 at 10 a.m. through www.Ticketmaster.com, the Cedar Park Center box office, all Ticketmaster outlets and charge-by-phone at 800-745-3000.
