09/14/2024

Today we celebrate the life and legacy of the talented musician Steve Gaines, born on this day, September 14, 1949, in the Green Country community of Miami, Oklahoma. Though his time with us was cut tragically short, his contributions to rock music, especially as a guitarist and vocalist for the iconic southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, left an indelible mark.

Steve's musical journey began when he saw the Beatles perform live at age 15, igniting a passion that led him to pick up his first guitar. Throughout the 1970s, Steve played with several bands, honing his craft. His sister Cassie Gaines joined Lynyrd Skynyrd as a backup singer in 1975, and she recommended Steve following the departure of the band’s previous lead guitarist. Steve's incredible talent shone through when he joined them on stage for a song in 1976, and shortly thereafter he became a full-time bandmember. Gaines' guitar skills and songwriting brilliance quickly made an impact as he co-wrote and performed on iconic tracks like "You Got That Right" and "I Know a Little," cementing his place in rock history.

Sadly, on October 20, 1977, the music world was forever changed by the tragic plane crash that claimed Steve’s life alongside his sister Cassie, Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, and members of the band’s crew. Gaines’ legacy, however, lives on through his unforgettable contributions to Southern rock and the lasting influence of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Today, we remember Steve Gaines for his extraordinary talent, his passion for music, and the joy he brought to rock fans everywhere. His spirit continues to inspire musicians and fans alike. Circle Drive – the Miami, OK street where the Gaines family lived while Steve and Cassie were growing up – was renamed Gaines Drive in their honor, and visitors to the city's historic Dobson Museum will find an exhibit devoted to these local luminaries.
