Vyntyge Skynyrd and Beautiful Losers
Since it’s inception, Vyntyge Skynyrd has earned the admiration and affection of critics and fans alike. Lynyrd Skynyrd was the most formidable band ever to emerge from the South. Vyntyge Skynyrd tributes and celebrates the 1970s era of the band by replicating this timeless music as it was originally recorded and performed. Vyntyge Skynyrd captures the fire and heart of the band, as well as the soul of their fearless leader Ronnie Van Zant. You’ll be transported back to 1977 where you will hear all the classic Skynyrd favorites such as Sweet Home Alabama, Saturday Night Special, Gimme Three Steps, and of course you can yell “FREEBIRD” all you like because you will in fact get it!
“I want to thank you guys for carrying on the name of Lynyrd Skynyrd”
– Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer)
“Vynytge Skynyrd is helping to keep Lynyrd Skynyrd’s music alive”
– Artimus Pyle (former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer)
“One of the best tributes I’ve ever seen”
– Gene Odom (former Lynyrd Skynyrd Security Manager and plane crash survivior)
“I love your band. Skynyrd prided themselves in getting it right every night. You guys nailed it. By the way, I’ve listened to most of your posts.”
– Paul Abraham (former Lynyrd Skynyrd Manager, writer, friend of the band)
The Beautiful Losers was put together by Last Laugh vocalist, Devin Cordeiro. “I have always wanted to put together the most authentic Seger show but never had the time. Well I made time for it and as I planned for it all, top on the list was joining together the best musicians that the New England music scene had to offer. I started at the top of the list talent wise and just went for it. I am sure that you will recognize these guys and the bands that they have recorded and toured with! The truth is I couldn’t have assembled a more talented, dedicated and professional group for this project and as a result, it has exceeded all expectations.”
