38 SPECIAL with SPECIAL GUEST BILLY AND THE VINTAGE SAINTS

After more than four decades, 38 SPECIAL continues to bring their signature blast of Southern Rock to over 100 cities a year. Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse. With sales in excess of 20 million, most associate the band with their arena-rock pop smashes, “Hold On Loosely,” “Rockin’ Into the Night,” “Caught Up in You,” “Fantasy Girl,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” “Chain Lightnin’,” “Second Chance,” and more – Timeless hits that remain a staple at radio, immediately recognizable from the first opening chord, and paving the way to their present-day touring regimen. Guitarist/vocalist DON BARNES says it’s all about maintaining that intensity in their live shows. “We never wanted to be one of those bands that had maybe gotten a little soft or complacent over the years. We’re a team, and it’s always been kind of an unspoken rule that we don’t slack up, we stack up. We go out there every night to win.” Completing the team is bassist BARRY DUNAWAY, drummer GARY MOFFATT and keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS. The most recent addition to the band is legendary virtuoso guitarist and vocalist JERRY RIGGS. For 38 Special onstage, it is a celebration of camaraderie and brotherhood, a precision unit bringing the dedication and honesty to a long history of classic songs, as well as surprisingly fresh new material.

Billy Hall has been playing music with some of the best musicians around Chicago for a while now, and in 2021 he went into the studio to record the songs everybody had been asking him for. He brought together three of the best musicians he knows – Bobby Koll on Guitar, Anthony Carmen on Bass, and Russ Armentrout on Drums. With Billy on Rhythm Guitar and Lead Vocals, Billy and the Vintage Saints play a seamless and hard-driving blend of their originals and covers from some of their own favorite artists – artists like Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, The Wallflowers, David Bowie and Lou Gramm.
