Band touring with new lineup, original member Don Barnes still part of group
Southern rock legends booked for August 28
As of 2014, the 38 Speical lineup consists of Don Barnes, guitarist Danny Chauncey, keyboardist Bobby Capps, drummer Gary Moffatt, and bassist Barry Dunaway. According to 38 Special's website, Van Zant has not toured with the band since 2012 due to health issues related to inner-ear nerve damage, although he will write and record with the band. Co-lead vocalist Barnes is now performing most of the vocals at concert appearances. As of 2013, after nearly a year of missing performances, it was confirmed that Donnie Van Zant has officially left 38 Special after 39 years, and is retiring from music. In 2014, longtime bassist Larry Junstrom was replaced by Barry Dunaway. Dunaway has filled in for Junstrom for a handful of shows in 2011, and a few shows in 2013 as well. Junstrom was forced to retire due to a hand injury, that required surgery. This leaves only Don Barnes as an original member, although Barnes was absent from the band from 1987 until 1992.
The Fair has not announced the show or ticket information as of yet.. stay tuned for details.
