Rickey Medlock of Lynyrd Skynyrd originally formed Blackfoot in the 1970s to carry on the Southern American hard rock tradition of that band. Re-formed and signed to Loud & Proud Records, the band now boasts a strong ensemble including lead guitarist/vocalist Tim Rossi, guitarist/vocalist Rick Krasowski, bassist Brian Carpenter, and drummer Matt Anastasi. The band recently released the music video for "Southern Native," the title track for their upcoming release Southern Native, and you can watch it here. Ultimate Classic Music, who released the video, said "....it's clear that Blackfoot retain the hard-edged Southern rock sound that defined earlier favorites..."
In addition to recruiting the band, Medlock wrote, performed on, and produced Southern Native, which will be released on August 5. He is proud of guiding this new incarnation of Southern heavy rock, and hopes the live show will recruit fans new and old and the band tour in support of the new record. Tour dates are listed below.
