Among the ethnic communities that migrated to America in the eighteenth century, the Scots Irish are perhaps the most important for understanding this country’s fairy folklore. Hailing from parts of the British Isles where ideas about fairies remained very much alive, these immigrants settled in locations as far apart as New Hampshire and North Carolina.
Join Andrew Warburton as he explores the extent to which the Scots Irish brought fairy folklore to the United States—through their stories, their “magical” practices, and their ballads.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was the most formidable band ever to emerge from the South. Vyntyge Skynyrd tributes and celebrates the 1970's era of the band by replicating this timeless music as it was originally recorded and performed. Vyntyge Skynyrd captures the fire and heart of the band, as well as the soul of their fearless leader Ronnie Van Zant.
You'll be transported back to 1977 where you will hear all the classic Skynyrd favorites such as Sweet Home Alabama, Saturday Night Special, Gimme Three Steps, and of course you can yell "FREEBIRD" all you like because you will in fact get it!
"I want to thank you guys for carrying on the name of Lynyrd Skynyrd" - Johnny Van Zant (Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer)
"Vynytge Skynyrd is helping to keep Lynyrd Skynyrd's music alive" - Artimus Pyle (former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer)
"One of the best tributes I've ever seen" - Gene Odom (former Lynyrd Skynyrd Security Manager and plane crash survivior)
“I love your band. Skynyrd prided themselves in getting it right every night. You guys nailed it. By the way, I've listened to most of your posts.” - Paul Abraham (former Lynyrd Skynyrd Manager, writer, friend of the band)
