Grammy Award-winning Christian artist announced in Colorado Springs amphitheater lineup

ZZ Top, easily recognizable thanks to the diligent cultivation of facial hair, dropped their album, “Tres Hombres,” in 1973 and caught fire thanks to their hit “La Grange.” Other hits through the years include “Sharp Dressed Man,” “Legs,” “Gimme All Your Lovin’” and “Tush.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd also climbed to fame in the ’70s, with Southern rock hits including “Sweet Home Alabama,” “Free Bird,” “Simple Man” and “What’s Your Name.”
