Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr on Rowdy Frynds Tour at Giant Center April 4

Lynrd Skynrd will be performing with Hank Williams live on the Rowdy Frynds Tour at the Giant Center in Hershey, PA on April 4 at 7:00 pm.

A Southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynrd gained popularity in the 1970 with Ronnie Van Zant as the group’s lead vocalist and song writer.  Zant tragically died in a plane crash in 1977 with guitar player Steve Gaines and backup singer Cassie Gaines.

Basing the name on Leonard Skinner, a gym teacher at Robert E. Lee High School in Jacksonville Florida, Lynyrd Skynyrd was a critically acclaimed southern rock group in the 1970’s and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 13, 2006.

The band’s most popular songs include “Free Bird” and “Sweet Home Alabama” which are now considered to be American anthems and must haves for FM radio.

The Giant Center is located in Hershey, Pennsylvania.  It seas 12, 500 guests and serves as a multi-purpose arena and the home of the Hershey Bears, an ice hockey team in the AHL, replacing Hersheypark Arena, the Bears’ previous residence.

Since its opening the Giant Center has welcomed the likes of Cher, 50 Cent, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and the Drew Carey Comedy Tour.  The center has also seen several professional ice shows, family events, and special attractions such as the Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus, the Harlem Globtrotters, Disney on ice, Stars on ice and the Blue Man Group.
