Rock band SHANYTOWN performed at Riverfront Nights in Chattanooga, TN, on July 25, 2015. The Van Zant
Legacy (members Robbie Morris, drums and Lil Ronnie Morris, vocals, are the nephews of Ronnie, Donnie
and Johnny Van Zant) captured the hearts of the mesmerized crowd (12,000 plus!), that turned out for this
memorable evening with these card-holding members of the “First Family of Southern Rock”. One could
FEEL the reverberation of love from the audience—that were on their feet with thunderous applause that
shook the trees as the men of Shanytown were called back for THREE encores!
The entertainment was introduced by special guest MC, radio personality Freebird of The Freebird Show
(www.tfbradio.com). Besides the Morris brothers, Shanytown is comprised of Duane Johnson (guitar),
Charles Moody (bass) and Robbie Gay (guitar).
