About KANSAS
With a legendary career spanning five decades, KANSAS has firmly established itself as one of America’s iconic classic rock bands. This "garage band" from Topeka released their debut album in 1974 after being discovered by Wally Gold, who worked for Don Kirshner, and have gone on to sell more than 30 million albums worldwide.

Composing a catalogue that includes 16 studio albums and five live albums, KANSAS has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (‘Leftoverture,’ ‘Point of Know Return,’ ‘Best of KANSAS’), one platinum live album (Two for the Show), one quadruple-Platinum single “Carry on Wayward Son,” and another triple-Platinum single “Dust in the Wind.” KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the ‘70's and ‘80's and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe, and Japan. “Carry on Wayward Son” continues to be one of the top five most played songs on classic rock radio, and “Dust in the Wind” has been played on the radio more than three million times! 

KANSAS currently boasts a lineup of vocalist/keyboardist Ronnie Platt, keyboardist/vocalist Tom Brislin, guitarist Zak Rizvi, guitarist Scott Bernard, violinist/guitarist Joe Deninzon, bassist/vocalist Dan McGowan, original guitarist Richard Williams, and original drummer Phil Ehart. Eric Holmquist performs on drums while Phil Ehart continues to recover from a major heart attack. KANSAS continues to energize audiences with their powerful live performances.

About 38 SPECIAL
50 years together. 20 million albums sold. More than 15 albums of guitar-driven southern rock stacked high with hits like “Hold on Loosely,” “Caught Up in You,” “If I’d Been the One,” “Back Where You Belong,” and “Second Chance.” 38 Special is proof that there’s strength in numbers.

Formed in 1974, the band toured tirelessly from the start, sharpening the explosive live show that's been 38 Special's calling card for a half-century. Along the way, the Florida natives fine-tuned their sound too: a blend of muscle and melody, filled with the arena-rock pop hooks that would soon become staples of FM radio. Years passed…trends changed…some band members retired from the rigors…but 38 Special remained, hitting the road year after year, flying the flag for an enduring form of classic rock & roll that never dies.  

38 Special is made up of founding member and lead vocalist & guitarist Don Barnes, keyboardist & vocalist Bobby Capps, drummer Gary Moffatt, bassist & vocalist Barry Dunaway, and guitarist Jerry Riggs. 38 Special’s latest album, ‘Milestone’, is available now.
