Lynyrd Skynyrd have just signed a new deal with Frontiers Music Srl. As part of the partnership, the label are planning to release a new live album/DVD titled “Celebrating 50 Years – Live At The Ryman.” The effort was recorded during the late Gary Rossington’s final performance at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN on November 22, 2022.

Johnny Van Zant said the following:

“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.”

Serafino Perugino, president and CEO of Frontiers Label Group, continued:

“Few bands have left such a lasting impact on rock music as Lynyrd Skynyrd. 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!”

Ross Schilling of Vector Management also commented:

“We are excited to bring 50 years of Skynyrd to the fans. The Rossington family felt it was important to share Gary’s last performance with everyone. It was a special night with incredibly talented guest artists, honoring the iconic songs of Skynyrd in the mother church of music, The Ryman Auditorium.”
