2025 St. Jude JAM Performers
Johnny Van Zant of Lynyrd Skynyrd
For three decades, Johnny Van Zant has carried out the legacy of his late brother, Ronnie Van Zant, as the lead singer of legendary rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd and one half of duo Van Zant alongside his brother, Donnie Van Zant of .38 Special.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s are best known for the RIAA Platinum-certified “Sweet Home Alabama” and self-proclaimed signature song, “Free Bird,” that Rolling Stone said was “easily the most requested live song in existence.” With everlasting hits such as “Simple Man,” “Gimme Three Steps,” “What’s Your Name,” “Call Me The Breeze,” “You Got that Right,” and more, it is easy to see why Rolling Stone named Lynyrd Skynyrd one of its 100 Greatest Bands of All Time.
Uncle Kracker
No matter what he does or where he goes, Uncle Kracker adheres to a simple, yet rather timeless philosophy. “I really subscribe to this mindset of just having fun,” he affirms. “That’s what it’s always about. It’s the train that I’m forever on. The way I feel is if I’m enjoying it, it’s really worth doing.”
Now he’s having more fun than ever. And it certainly shows with the release of his brand new single “Floatin’.” Just in time for summer, the feel-good track recorded in Nashville couples Uncle Kracker’s heartfelt, infectious lyrics with a country groove that will keep fans smiling all summer long.
Uncle Kracker has played sold out shows across the country and appeared everywhere from the American Country Music Awards to Late Night With Conan O'Brien. He is still having a blast, and fans worldwide undoubtedly will too when they see him on the road. “When I’m up onstage, I don’t feel removed from the people coming to hear the music,” he leaves off. “You can feel it, when they identify with you. Sometimes when I’m up there, I wanna tell’em ‘I’m not any different than you are.’”
SIXWIRE
Not only have the members of SIXWIRE played on countless hit records and toured with legends like Dolly Parton and Olivia Newton-John, they've been the “go-to“ guys for television, having served as house band on USA Network’s Nashville Star, Fox's Next Great American Band, CMT’s Next Superstar and ABC’s dramatic series Nashville. They’ve performed at Super Bowls 51, 54, and 56; The Daytona 500; the NHL All-Star Game and they were ESPN’s first-ever house band for the 2019 NFL Draft.
Charitable entertainment events that SIXWIRE has been involved in have raised nearly $30 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. SIXWIRE has also helped raise funds for Scott Hamilton’s Cancer Research Foundation, Convoy Of Hope, American Cancer Society and many others.
