Booking Blackberry Smoke

Blackberry Smoke is an American Southern rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2000. The group — led by Charlie Starr (vocals, guitar), Richard Turner (bass, vocals), Brit Turner (drums), Paul Jackson (guitar, vocals), and Brandon Still (keyboards) — has spent over two decades redefining modern Southern rock while paying homage to its roots in blues, country, and classic rock. Their sound captures the heart of the American South — equal parts grit, groove, and soul.

From their independent beginnings, Blackberry Smoke built their success the old-school way: through relentless touring and word-of-mouth reputation. Their debut album Bad Luck Ain’t No Crime (2003) introduced their authentic blend of rock and country swagger, while The Whippoorwill (2012) and Holding All the Roses (2015) — the latter debuting at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart — established them as torchbearers of the Southern rock revival.

Over the years, they’ve toured with icons like ZZ Top, Eric Church, and Gov’t Mule, while headlining major festivals across the U.S. and Europe. Their live shows are a testament to musicianship and heart — blending improvisation, harmony, and storytelling that make each performance unique.

Their more recent albums, including You Hear Georgia (2021), produced by Dave Cobb, celebrate Southern pride and modern identity, addressing themes of resilience, heritage, and unity. Critics praise their ability to balance tradition with evolution — maintaining the spirit of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers while carving their own path forward.

With millions of streams, sold-out tours, and a fiercely loyal fan base known as the “Smoke Family,” Blackberry Smoke continues to prove that rock ’n’ roll is alive, honest, and thriving. Whether playing small theaters or massive arenas, their shows radiate soul, sincerity, and a connection that transcends generations.
