JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A jam session Thursday at TIAA Bank Field featured two of Jacksonville's hometown rock stars.
Lynyrd Skynyrd members Johnny Van Zant and Rick Medlocke were joined at the stadium by Jaguars long snapper Carson Tinker as they sang "Sweet Home Alabama."
J.P. Shadrick, of the Jaguars Radio Network, captured the performance on video. In it, Tinker, a University of Alabama alumnus, couldn't resist dropping a "Roll Tide Roll."
On Sept. 2, Lynyrd Skynyrd will perform at Daily's Place as part of its farewell tour, which will continue into at least next year.
News4Jax anchor Tom Wills spoke Thursday with Johnny Van Zant as the band was preparing to leave for concerts this weekend in Massachusetts and upstate New York.

He told Wills they are really looking forward to the concert in their hometown in September, which may very well be the last time Lynyrd Skynyrd plays in Jacksonville.
