Spencer, IA (CCF)–The Clay County Fair is excited to announce that rock powerhouse Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform in the U.S. Cellular Grandstand on Sunday, September 18 at 6:30 p.m.
“Classic rock fans should be excited to have one of the top-selling acts of all time at the Fair this year,” said CCF Manager Jeremy Parsons. “This show will be a powerful end to the 2016 Fair.”
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s legacy began some 41 years ago in Jacksonville, Florida, and was halted for a decade by the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, including Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines. Since then, the band tragically lost Allen Collins, Leon Wilkeson and Huey Thomasson, yet Lynyrd Skynyrd rocks on with original member Gary Rossington joined by Johnny Van Zant, Rickey Medlock, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Johnny Colt, Peter Keys, Dale Krantz Rossington and Carol Chase.
With a catalog of over 60 albums, sales beyond 30 million worldwide and their beloved classic American rock anthem “Sweet Home Alabama” having over two million downloaded ringtones, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remains a cultural icon that appeals to all generations.
Prices are $48 (general admission stage front standing), $38 (reserved Grandstand seating), and $33 (general admission bleacher seating). Tickets will be available online at www.claycountyfair.com, by phone at 1-515-244-2771, or in person at the Clay County Regional Events Center Box Office. There will be no additional fees applied to any of these purchase methods.
