After more than three decades together, 38 Special is still playing more than 100 shows per year.
And at every one of them, thousands of audience members are completely blindsided by the power and muscle of the band’s performance. “When we come out, people are like, ‘Whoa! It’s like a freight train rolling over them…'” says vocalist/guitarist Don Barnes.
While most associate the group with its arena-rock ’80s pop smashes, these days the band’s harder edge is what is immediately noticeable. Barnes says it’s all about maintaining the intensity that they deliver in their live shows.

The rock and roll powerhouse continually tours, and as Van Zant shares, “It’s about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what it stands for, what the fans are all about. There’s nothing like getting out there playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music.” Adds Rossington, “We’re still standing, Still keeping the music going.
We wanted to do the guys who aren’t with us any more proud, and keep the name proud, too.”
With a catalog of over 60 albums, billions of streams, and tens of millions of records sold, Rock & Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd remain a cultural icon that appeal to all generations.
