Formed in September of 2002, “FREEBIRD” set out to recreate the studio and live recordings of Lynyrd Skynyrd. From the beginning, the band felt the need to deliver the highest quality of music as opposed to trying to look like the original band. After auditioning some of Long Island's most talented musicians, “FREEBIRD” was up and running. After playing many of Long Island's smaller clubs, the band began to develop a loyal following. As word spread, larger venues took notice giving the band opportunities to perform for larger audiences. The band then began to sell out many of Long Island's largest music venues and clubs. “FREEBIRD” has appeared at “The Suffolk Theater” in Riverhead, “The Paramount” in Huntington, “The Jones Beach Bandshell” in Wantagh, “The Space” in Westbury, as well as for many town and county parks all over Long Island, while still performing often on Long Island the band has done shows in Watkins Glen NY, Stratton Mtn VT, “The Chasco Fiesta Festival” New Port Richey Florida, and “The Richey Suncoast Theater” New Port Richey Florida.

All the members of “FREEBIRD” have tremendous respect for the music of Ronnie Van Zant and all the members of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Which is why we put in countless hours of hard work in order to authentically duplicate the music as exact as possible right down to the smallest details. Skynyrd was such a truly great live band. All one has to do is listen to the “One More From the Road” recordings to feel the energy of the performances to understand how good they were live. They were one good time Rockin' band with a slew of timeless songs that connected to the masses. “Freebird” is dedicated to playing the music at a high level in order to give the audience an experience they won't forget. Our main goal is always to put every ounce of energy, and our heart and soul into every performance, in order to get Lynyrd Skynyrd fans to stand up, dance, hoot and holler, to jump around and have a great time that they will not soon forget. That's why “FREEBIRD” is playing Lynyrd Skynyrd's music and keeping the flame alive.
