Finally got the chance to work with my brothers again, in a very long time! Long story short; i was told one day to get over to a bar where i met this man Keith and his band Lukyn Skywyrd at a bar out in Lake Five, Well my mother was talking to him about how i love to do Lighting and Sound for bands, and he figured what the hell ill give this kid a shot; I was 17 at the time. Little did i know that day would end up with 5 killer years of running around with this amazing Southern Rock band, going from bar to bar, fest to fest, and even getting to run lights at the BMO Harris Pavilion and Harley Davidson stage at the biggest music festival in the U.S.A: Summer Fest (Wisconsin)! All at the age of 18 and 19!
When i turned 21, Keith, sadly had an accident while at work later falling to his injuries and passing away. The whole band froze. He was the main driver of the group and since then, and i never heard anything from ‘em. Till i saw Gimme Skynyrd was playing my favorite venue The Saloon on Calhoun.
It was amazing working with you boys again, Chris, killer job on vocals man! Tony, Mike, Bill, Jason: Loved see you four again! Felt like old times for me, and i hope we can all work together more in the future!
