Lynyrd Skynyrd in concert at Azalea Festival 2013
I'm pretty excited about this one, folks! My husband was a huge Lynyrd Skynyrd fan and thanks to him I came to be one as well. Oh, don't worry friends, I'm still the same Tish you've always known; a dyed in the wool Brenda Lee and Johnny Mathis fan. But when it comes to Southern Rock few do it as well as Lynyrd Skynyrd. Did you know that the man they named the band after, Leonard Skinner, went on to sell real estate after he left teaching? Just a little useless piece of trivia for you to dazzle your friends with! Oh, I know it's not exactly the same band we remember from the 70's, but if you'll take a few minutes to listen to some of their newer tracks, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Yes, I've listened to some of their new music, you don't think I'd recommend the concert if I hadn't, do you?
On Thursday, April 11, 2013 at 7p they'll be in Downtown Wilmington, 411 N. Front Street to be exact, helping us all celebrate Azalea Festival 2013 and great Southern Rock. Tickets are $40 and can be purchased here. It's standing room only (who can sit when they're playing anyway?), rain or shine and chairs, bookbags and umbrellas are not permitted.
I'm really looking forward to this concert; I think my favorite cousin, Tommy, is even going to come up from SC to go with us. Which means it'll be a real party! Hope we'll see you there!
