This is a fresh, updated approach to the sound we've been making together for so long. Why not make a big statement after all these years? When you're reintroducing yourself to the world, 'good enough' doesn't work anymore." "If you're gonna do it, you might as well go big. We've had people say, 'Oh, those guys are still around? We still hit 100 cities every year and we bring a high-energy party to the people every time we're onstage. We don't phone it in. We don’t slack up, we stack up. So Much So Right is for anyone who thinks we're too old to keep doing this. It'll completely change their perspective," he said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXqnUxvnR0c&list=RDUXqnUxvnR0c&start_radio=1&pp=ygUPMzggc3BlY2lhbCAyMDI1oAcBThe post 38 Special announces 2026 tour dates to promote new album appeared first on Rock and Roll Garage.
