What Is Donnie Van Zant Doing Now

So, there I was, scrolling through my Spotify playlists the other day, when I stumbled upon a song that transported me back to my high school days. You know the ones - when life was simpler, and the biggest decision you had to make was whether to wear your favorite band t-shirt or not. The song was "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, and it got me thinking, "Whatever happened to Donnie Van Zant?"

Now, if you're a fan of Southern rock, you probably know that Donnie is the younger brother of Ronnie Van Zant, the lead singer of Lynyrd Skynyrd. But what you might not know is that Donnie's no slouch himself. He's had a pretty impressive career, both with his own band, .38 Special, and as a solo artist.

So, what is Donnie Van Zant doing now?

Well, my curious friend, let's dive in and find out.

.38 Special Reunion

First things first, Donnie's been busy with a .38 Special reunion. That's right, the band that brought us hits like "Hold On Loosely" and "Caught Up in You" is back together again. Donnie, along with original guitarist Don Barnes, has been touring with the band since 2016. They've been playing all their classic hits, and even some new material. If you're a fan of .38 Special, you might want to check out their tour schedule - you never know when they might be playing in your neck of the woods.

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But what about Donnie's solo work?" Well, hold onto your hats, because he's been busy with that too.
