Today we remember the late, great Billy Powell on his birthday. The longtime keyboardist of Lynyrd Skynyrd would’ve turned 68.
Today we look back to 2012 at when Lynyrd Skynyrd performed at Chaz and AJ’s Cookout at the Toyota Oakdale Theatre. Though Billy had already passed 3 years earlier, his influence and music was very much alive that night.

Note: Dickey Betts was originally scheduled to open the show, but was unable to perform. In his place, and at the recommendation of 99.1 PLR’s Mike Lapitino, Waterbury’s own Crosseyed Cat opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd.
