Molly Hatchet with special guests: Freebyrd

The Lincoln Square Theater is excited to welcome 70's rock group...MOLLY HATCHET on April 19, 2025! Molly Hatchet firmly cemented their place in music history in the late seventies. They stood alongside other iconic Southern rock bands out of Jacksonville, FL, such as Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. A perfect mixture of English invasion rock, blues, country, and gospel remains the unique sound of Molly Hatchet.

  They were the hardest-hitting of the Southern rock bands at the time when, in 1978, Epic Records released Molly Hatchet's self-titled debut album. It reached multi-platinum status, and the band established their reputation of working hard, playing tough, and living fast through intense touring. During this time, they were on the road with Aerosmith, Bob Seger, Rolling Stones, and many others.

  In 1979 Molly Hatchet's second album Flirtin' with Disaster was released, and it also quickly achieved multi-platinum status. It skyrocketed the band into the stratosphere and performing an average of 250 shows per year kept them busy. 

  Molly Hatchet next released Beatin' the Odds (1980), followed by Take No Prisoners (1981), No Guts...No Glory (1983) The Deed is Gone (1984) and Double Trouble Live (1985).

 

We are also excited to announce that Chicago-based 'Freebyrd' - An authentic tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd will be the opening act for Molly Hatchet! Freebyrd delivers an authentic tribute, bringing the legendary music of one of rock's most iconic bands to life. They pride themselves on delivering a high-energy, spot-on performance that captures the spirit of Lynyrd Kkynyrd's legacy, ensuring an unforgettable experience and leaving a lasting impression on their audiences!
