All-American southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd and their Texan counterpart, ZZ Top have announced their first co-headlining tour, aptly titled “The Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour.” The two will hit 22 cities in North America over 2023 summer.
Since their debut over 50 years ago, Lynyrd Skynyrd has maintained its icon, proving the band has incredible staying power, capable of resonating with all generations. It’s the reason one can still hear “Sweet Home Alabama” at college parties, where the oldest person in the room just hit legal drinking age, as at family reunions, where “Free Bird” can be the only thing that can cut through the hazes of dementia. The band knows of their reach, and their primary mission in continued touring is to celebrate that legacy. The band’s current line-up features Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlocke, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Keith Christopher, Peter Keys, Carol Chase and Stacy Michelle, with select appearances from Gary Rossington, who still carries significant presence and creative influence within the band.
ZZ Top’s endurance in the scene is thanks to their mantra: “Tone, Taste and Tenacity.” The bluesy roots band made a name for themselves with their 1973 release Tres Hombres, and they made a name for the tour with their certified diamond track “Sharp Dressed Man.”
