The Artimus Pyle Band
7-22-2018Legendary former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle is all about the music. When he put together "The Artimus Pyle Band", he wanted the band to be a proper representation of the true Skynyrd spirit, one that would do justice to those incredible songs thatRonnie Van Zant wrote and sang with such conviction. And the truth is, with their impeccable timing, soaring guitars, and gut wrenching vocals APB has done just that.
The Artimus Pyle Band has been hailed as equal to, if not better than, Lynyrd Skynyrd at its best. The original band’s beloved drummer and Rock N’ Roll Hall Of Fame inductee, “Wildman” Artimus Pyle, has put together a monster group that resurrects the music, energy and emotion of days and brothers gone by. You’ll hear favorite tunes like; Freebird, Sweet Home Alabama, Tuesday’s Gone, That Smell, Gimme Back My Bullets, Gimme Three Steps, Travelin' Man, What’s Your Name, You Got That Right, Saturday Night Special, Whiskey Rock-A-Roller and many more of the songs that helped define one of the greatest bands of all time. The Artimus Pyle Band (APB) offers fans the best of Skynyrd by one of men who truly was part of it all.
Long considerd the wildman of the group, Ronnie Van Zant once said of him, “We keep him in a cage and feed him raw meat, only let him out when it’s time to play.” Artimus survived the 1977 plane crash that killed Van Zant, guitaristSteve Gaines, his sister Cassie Gaines, who was one of the backing vocalists, assistant road manager Dean Kilpatrick, and the two pilots. Pyle suffered a torn chest cartilage, but he and two other survivors managed to stumble several hundred yards through a creek and a freshly plowed field to a farmhouse to get help.
Artimus Pyle, Brad Durden, Jerry Lyda, Tony Black and Scott Raines are not only a group of friends and contemporaries but are some of the most seasoned musician in the southeast. Long considered the “wild man” of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Artimus Pyle’s powerful and distinctive double bass drumming helped define the legendary Skynyrd sound, representing an important part of the incredible rollercoaster history of Skynyrd during their pinnacle years of 1974-1977, and then again for the Tribute tour of 1991. APB is sure to be the highlight of any event, performing their all-Skynyrd show with maximum impact.Buy Ticket
