After more than four decades together, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. And 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 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 the legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS.For 38 Special onstage, it is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.About The Arena Theatre
The Arena Theatre has been bringing in mainstream entertainers since the ’70s. Its round revolving stage allows audience members a degree of intimacy with the performers unavailable in a traditional arrangement. The Arena recently received a substantial facelift under new ownership. Upgrades include new sound, lighting systems, led screens, and seats. Arena Theatre’s ambitious booking approach has brought some of the best national and international pop, urban, Latin, country, and rock talents to Houston.
