Have you heard Shinedown's cover of 'Simple Man'?

Shinedown come from Jacksonville, Florida, the same hometown as Lynyrd Skyryrd, and they covered that song on their debut album. They are coming to Wyoming in 2016.

Shinedown will begin their 12-city tour March 1 in Portland, Oregon with the British trio The Virginmarys. Their 2016 tour includes a stop at the Casper Events Center on March 14. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 18.

The band released their fifth studio album titled, 'Threat to Survival,' earlier this year and the single, 'Cut The Cord,' continued Shinedown's streak of 19 consecutive singles that have reached nearly to the top of the charts.

Along with their cover of Skynyrd's 'Simple Man,' you've probably heard Shinedown's hit songs 'Burning Bright,''Fly from the Inside,''I Dare You,''Save Me' and 'Second Chance.' The band formed in 2001 in Jacksonville and in 2009, they won the American Music Award for Best Alternative Rock Band. They've made numerous appearances on late night TV shows.

Shinedown members include:

  • Brent Smith-vocals
  • Barry Kerch-drums
  • Zach Myers-guitars
  • Eric Bass-bass

Shinedown have been touring in 2015 with Breaking Benjamin and will once again be part of the 'Carnival of Madness' tour in February 2016.
