If you grew up listening to southern rockers 38 Special like me, then you need to head to the historic Murphy Arts District in El Dorado, Arkansas on Wednesday, September 18, for a concert from the legendary band 38 Special.

These "Wild-Eyed Southern Boys" have performed in over 100 cities yearly and have amassed 20 million in sales since they broke into the music scene in 1976. Over the years, 38 Special has received numerous Gold and Platinum album awards for their outstanding achievements and stellar career. 38 Special was honored at the 34th annual Georgia Music Hall of Fame Awards on October 14, 2012.

They have released a ton of chart-topping hits like “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. Their timeless hits continue to be played today on classic rock stations nationwide proving they are a band that defies generations and garners a new legion of fans worldwide with their amazing signature sound.

"We're a team, and it's always been an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win” said, Guitarist and vocalist Don Barnes.

With so many bands retiring these days, you can bet that 38 Special feels they are just getting their second breath, and I have a feeling as long the fans still crave their music they're in it for the long haul.
