Performer Information

Few bands in music history have left as indelible a mark on Southern rock as 38 Special. Formed in 1974 in Jacksonville, Florida, by Don Barnes, Donnie Van Zant, Jeff Carlisi, and Steve Brookins, the band rose to national prominence with 1981’s Wild-Eyed Southern Boys and its breakout single “Hold On Loosely.” Over a five-decade career, they’ve sold 20 million albums worldwide. Albums like Wild-Eyed Southern Boys and Special Forces cemented their reputation for arena-ready hooks and dual-guitar firepower.

Across generations, 38 Special’s blend of driving guitars, melodic vocals, and polished, radio-ready choruses has made their songs staples of classic rock. Their signature sound—rooted in Southern rock traditions—helped shape a more melodic, chart-friendly edge for the genre and continues to resonate with longtime fans and new listeners alike.
