38 Special Continues to Rock and Roll

July 13, 2017

38 Special is still out on the road rocking, 40+ years after beginning their musical journey in 1974 out of Jacksonville, FL. The band has released 13 albums, selling nearly 50 million records, fueled with iconic rock tunes like “Hold on Loosely,” “Caught Up in You,” “Back Where You Belong” and “Wild Eyed Southern Boys.”

They didn’t have a key to open to door to what they thought might have been burglars (it was actually the local authorities) and one of the policeman threatened the boys with a ’38 special’, and the rest is music history. Although it’s a light tour, be sure to see 38 Special if you can…
