Lynyrd Skynyrd’s spotlight channel, “Free Bird,” is back on SirusXM through May 23.

The Southern Rock Channel (30) will highlight music from the band’s career – including live cuts and rarities – and also feature songs from other Southern rockers including The Allman Brothers Band, The Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchet and 38 Special.

Listeners can also hear Skynyrd's live performance at Stagecoach on April 27, as well as encore broadcasts of the band's 2018 SiriusXM concert from the Buckhead Theatre and their last concert from their hometown of Jacksonville, Fla., which took place in September.

Last week, SiriusXM unveiled The Cher Channel, which will commandeer Channel 4 through May 1. The legendary singer-actress is being celebrated for her decades of music and the current hit biographical musical, “The Cher Show,” on Broadway.
