Searching For A Lynyrd Skynyrd Tribute Band

By Cynthia Allen


Many people enjoy going to gigs to listen to live music and there are many bands that perform regularly. Tribute artists and bands are now extremely popular and many venues will book various acts. If you are looking for a lynyrd skynyrd tribute band there are various groups currently available and you should look at all options before booking anyone.

The original lynyrd skynyrd got together in the sixties in Florida and they were hugely successful in the seventies. In the late 70's the band members were involved in an aircraft accident and some of the group did not survive. They are still active on the music scene and many tributes to the group have been formed over the years.

Before you search for a tribute group you should spend some time to think about the type of gig you need and you will have to work out your budget. A large number of groups can customize their stage show for clients and they will sing a couple of numbers or they can do a full length gig. The cost of a show will depend on the duration of the gig, equipment needed along with accommodation costs and travel expenses.

You can find tribute acts in various ways and it is useful to visit a professional show business agency. These agents are experienced and will be in a position to source you a suitable group to play at your venue and they will arrange everything. Another good reason to use an agency is that all of the legal issues such as licenses, permits and insurances will be arranged.

You can also find a group by searching the internet and there are many that advertise online. The web sites contain some useful information along with video clips of previous shows and there may also be some audio clips. The majority of web sites will also have a testimonials page where you can read feedback from people who have booked the band in the past.

When you have decided to book a group it is preferable to give them as much notice as possible as many of them will be very busy. The top tribute acts will be fully booked for many months and even years and they may not be available. The majority of acts will require you to pay a deposit to secure a booking and you can pay the balance at a later date.

Some bands may also play for door money where they will sell tickets in advance or on the day of the gig. This can be a cost effective way of putting on a show as you will not have to pay for their services. The group may also be able to slot you in as part of their current tour if it is convenient for them to do so.

When you have paid the groups fees it is advisable to keep the payment receipt for future reference. You may also want to take their card and contact details in case you plan further bookings. If you enjoyed the show it can help others if you leave your feedback on the group's web site.
