Blackfoot is an American Southern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida originally formed in 1970's by Rickey Medlocke, current lead guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Though they are primarily a Southern rock band, Blackfoot has always been defined by their hard rock edge, evident on their most successful tracks. Over the last two years, Medlocke wrote, performed on and produced the 2016 album Southern Native. "This record is head to head old school meets new school, classic to new rock for a brand new generation!" says Medlocke, "Turn it up loud!"
