38 SPECIAL guitarist DANNY CHAUNCEY has decided to leave the band citing the desire to leave the rigors of touring behind him.
In his place, another familiar name – JERRY RIGGS (of “Riggs” fame).
Here’s what the band had to say:
“Happy New Year and welcome to 38 Special in 2019!
As Danny Chauncey has decided to depart from the rigors of road life, we wish him well and thank him for all of his years of dedication. Right now we’re excited to introduce to you our newest member, one of the true southern rock kings, Jerry Riggs!
Jerry has been an old friend of the band for many years and comes with an impressive pedigree as a titan in the industry, a virtuoso guitarist and vocalist with a long history as a recording artist and bandleader in his own right.
Completing the team is keyboardist/vocalist BOBBY CAPPS, drummer GARY MOFFATT, bassist BARRY DUNAWAY.
Don Barnes has updated the band’s FB with this comment: “We have just updated our site with quite a few newly booked shows. MANY more dates will be added in the next few days so check back often to see if we will be playing near you. We are VERY excited about the addition of guitarist/vocalist Jerry Riggs to the band. See you on the road!!”
