38 Special, the "wild eyed Southern boys of Rock," will headline High Point Furniture Market's Spring Stars Under the Stars concerts.

The concert series kicks off on Saturday, April 2, with BlackHawk, sponsored by Wells Fargo Capital Finance. BlackHawk is Henry Paul on guitar, mandolin and vocals, and Dave Robbins on keyboards and vocals. They, along with third founding member Van Stephenson, exploded onto the country music landscape in 1993 with their debut smash "Goodbye Says It All." With a dozen Top 10 hits including two number-one records to their credit and multi-platinum album sales that exceed 7 million records, they have carved out their own place in music history.

On Sunday, April 3, multi-platinum band 38 Special hits the stage with their unique Southern rock sound. After more than two decades together and over 20 million units sold, 38 Special still plays more than 100 cities a year. And at every show, audiences are blindsided by the explosive power of the band's performance. Their many Gold and Platinum album awards stand in testament to the endurance of a legendary powerhouse band. Most associate them with their arena-rock pop smashes, such as "Hold On Loosely," "Rockin' Into the Night," "Caught Up in You," and "Back Where You Belong."

Monday, April 4, features the funky-fresh band Sleeping Booty, bringing back their irresistible dance music. The band has opened for legendary groups such as Parliament, KC and the Sunshine Band, The B52s, Earth Wind & Fire, and Chicago.

"We have an amazing line-up of bands for the April Market, with something for every taste," said Brian Casey, president and CEO of the High Point Market Authority. "We're particularly pleased to have Wells Fargo Capital Finance join us as a sponsor for the BlackHawk event. With these terrific concerts, along with an abundance of complimentary food and drink options, our guests will find something for everyone while they are working here this Spring."
