Oak Ridge, Tenn. (April 16, 2012) - Secret City Festival organizers are gearing up for the 10th annual community celebration June 15-16 with the announcement of the headline entertainment.
Southern rockers, 38 Special, will bring their signature rock sound to the UCOR Stage Saturday, June 16, at 7 p.m. Mic Harrison and the High Score will serve as the opening act. 38 Special will perform hits from three decades of music and entertain fans with crowd favorites such as "Hold On Loosely," "Caught Up in You," "Rockin' Into the Night," and many others. Current members and founders of the band, Don Barnes and Donnie Van Zant, formed 38 Special in 1974.
The band first found success in 1981 with the breakthrough hit, "Hold On Loosely". Two of the band's other songs, "Caught Up in You" and "If I'd Been the One", both hit number one on the Billboard magazine Album Rock Tracks chart.
