The World's foremost Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band

The Skyny Nyrds aim is pay tribute to Skynyrd and their music, and to introduce their music to a new generation of rock fans. The Skyny Nyrds was the idea of band member "Screamin'J", he explains "I bought Lynyrd Skynryd's Greatest hits LP second hand in '81, it was mind blowing, especially after all the crap which was in the charts at the time. I taped it and it played it in my car for the next 15 years, now I have it in the car on cd!

"In '95 I was given the songbook. I decided as a new year's resolution to pick up my guitar, which I had been neglecting for some time, and learn to play them. I first started playing the songs at open mics. The band started as a duo in 2002, reformed, and is now..."
