As unlikely as it may sound, country music fans will get a taste of some southern rock at tonight’s Nashville Rising, a benefit concert for victims of the middle Tennessee flood.
That’s because Lynyrd Skynyrd will be performing along country greats Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Jason Aldean, Martina McBride, Taylor Swift and more!
A record-breaking storm in early May dumped more than a foot of rain in two days, causing overwhelming floods that killed nearly 20 people, and damaged the homes and businesses of thousands more. Tonight’s benefit concert will raise money for the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.

Lynyrd Skynyrd is hitting amphitheaters this summer with some very special guests on the bill: Bret Michaels of Poison, and .38 Special!
“The band and I have been friends with Bret for years and are looking forward to finally getting to tour with him,” Skynyrd’s Johnny Van Zant said. “It’s going to be a kick-ass show complete with new music plus all the fan favorites.”
Adding .38 Special makes the tour a bit of a Van Zant reunion - Johnny sings lead vocals for Skynyrd, and his older brother, Donnie, sings and plays guitar in .38 Special. You can be sure the tour will include some sort of tribute to their late brother and Skynyrd founding member, Ronnie, who died in a plane crash in October 1977.
Lynyrd Skynyrd tickets are your passport to fun this summer. Tour stops include Detroit, Chicago, St. Louis, and Hartford, to name a few. More news, and dates, to come soon!

“God & Guns,” Lynyrd Skynyrd’s latest album, was released in September 2009, marking the second longest break in a new album since the self-titled album came out in 1973. Of course, the longest break was 1977-1991, so who can complain about a measly six year break like the last one?
In support of their twelfth studio album, Lynyrd Skynyrd is taking to the road (and plane) for their worldwide tour kicking off Jan. 21 in Florida before going to several European cities that I can’t even pronounce.
In March, the band will make their way back to the States for a three-month break. There are also a handful of U.S. dates scheduled in July and August 2010.
