38 Special booked for Du Quoin State Fair
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.
