On Friday, August 6th, .38 Special will be rockin' into the night at the Bremer County Fair.

Formed in Jacksonville, Florida by neighborhood friends Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant in 1975, .38 Special enjoyed a string of successful albums and singles in the '80s. In 1981, the group's fourth studio album Wild-Eyed Southern Boys became the first of three straight to go platinum. The album included the band's first high-charting song "Hold On Loosely." "Caught Up In You" (1982) and "If I'd Been The One" (1983) both hit #1 on Billboard magazine's Album Rock Tracks chart. "Back Where You Belong" (1984) continued the annual run of radio favorites and "Second Chance" (1989) closed out the decade for the group by giving them a #1 hit on Billboard's adult contemporary chart.

In 2007, .38 Special was the opening act on Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr.'s Rowdy Frynds Tour. Last summer, .38 Special opened for REO Speedwagon and Styx as part of the "Can't Stop Rockin' Tour".
