Second Helping is much more than a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band it is a showcase for classic Skynyrd music. ![]() They refer to themselves as “Second Helping: The American Lynyrd Skynyrd Show.” This is because many Skynyrd tributes do not have the same components (10 members), play the parts (solos) correctly, and do not have the respect to make the necessary adjustments to get the music correct. Today the band does not refer to itself as a tribute. In 1993 Second Helping performed on MTV and has had several Skynyrd members attend and sit in with them. Skynyrd guitarist, Ed King, in the early years worked with Second Helping guitarist on specific guitar parts as did Randall Hall.įrom 1988 until today, Second Helping has toured regularly the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Second Helping has enjoyed their friendship with Lynyrd Skynyrd. Chris was amazed that they planned on quitting and said, “Wow, somebody should do a tribute to you guys!’ The band was amused and laughed at the thought.Ĭhris went back to Tampa and did just that. At that rehearsal, the band was discussing that they would only do a few more shows as a tribute to their fans. The band began as the result of Chris attending a Lynyrd Skynyrd rehearsal. Second Helping was the first Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band ever. Second Helping began in 1988 in Tampa, Florida by its founder, Chris McCallister.
