For over three decades, Whiskey River's musicians have thrilled audiences all over the US playing the music of the legendary southern-rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. Re-creating the image and the music of the southern rock band that took the world by storm in the "70's. Whiskey River not only plays Lynyrd Skynyrd, they personify the group onstage bringing the audience back in time thirty-five years as they blaze through classics like Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, The Breeze and their phenomenal note-for-note version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Live" guitar opus Freebird. One of the most amazing aspects of Skynyrd's music (and Whiskey River's tribute) is that its fan base literally runs from seven to seventy years old! This has been proven time and time again everywhere they've played. These musicians performed countless fairs, festivals, casinos and clubs throughout the region including Spokane Interstate Fair, Chehalis Music in the Parks, Darrington Classic Rock Festival, the White River Amphitheater, Key Arena @ Seattle Center, Bite of Seattle, the Emerald Queen Casino Showroom, the Jackson Prairie Speedway, and many many more. The band has also shared billing with numerous National Artists including Molly Hatchet, Delbert McClinton, Little Feat, Pat Travers, Foghat, Mountain, Grand Funk Railroad, Black Oak Arkansas, Quiet Riot, Dr. John, Savoy Brown, Seattle's own Randy Hansen, Elvin Bishop, Commander Cody, Paul Rodgers, Head East, Janis Joplin's band Big Brother and the Holding Company, Blue Oyster Cult, The Southern Rock All Stars, Iron Butterfly, Steppin Wolf and others. Where ever this band performs the press and other media rave. Radio stations KZOK 102.5 and KISM 92.9 praise and promote Whiskey River frequently. "I'd like to thank you for staying true to the music of Ronnie Van Zant's Lynyrd Skynyrd and keeping it alive for all these years" Artimus Pyle: Lynyrd Skynyrd Drummer - September 3, 2006 (Read Review Here) (Watch Video Here) "I thought I had a good preview of your show after watching your video, but nothing compares to seeing you live! You guys are HOT! I'll definitely be seeing you again." Vic-the-Dude: Disc-jockey KZOK 102.5 FM "On behalf of everyone at KISM I would like to thank you for the FANTASTIC show you gave us at the 92 Days of Summer Party. We could not have asked for better entertainment - you blew us (and the audience) clean away! Again, thank you very much. You were superb!" Carol Dooley: Program Director KISM 92.9 FM ...they play the entire Lynyrd Skynyrd repertoire in their tribute to the Southern Rock Band....
