After five decades, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. At each and every show, thousands of
audience members are amazed by the explosive power of the band's performance.
Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse.
With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,”
“Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more. Timeless hits that remain a staple at
radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen.
Guitarist/vocalist and founding member, DON BARNES, says it's all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of
those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft, or complacent over the years. We're a team and it's always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack
up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.”
Completing the team is bassist BARRY DUNAWAY, drummer GARY MOFFATT and keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS. The most recent addition to the band is
legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS.
For 38 Special onstage, it’s a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of
classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.
