About

Hard-working Southern rock outfit in thrall of the greats, from Skynyrd to the Allmans

As Southern as grits and gravy, Georgia’s Blackberry Smoke are a band out of time, doing it just like Skynyrd did, with more than a little Waylon stirred in for good measure.

Formed in 2000 by frontman Charlie Starr, guitarist Paul Jackson, bassist Richard Turner, Brandon Still on keys and drummer Brit Turner, Blackberry Smoke set out their stall right away, taking their bluesy, deep-fried, countrified rock ‘n’ roll on the road with forbearers such as ZZ Top, George Jones and Skynyrd themselves.

Their debut Bad Luck Ain’t No Crime landed in 2004, but it would be four years before the quintet followed it up with the self-released EP New Honky Tonk Outlaws. Things started to pick up speed from there with an EP and album, both called A Little Piece Of Dixie, coming in 2008 and 2009.  

The band continued to split the difference between outlaw country and Southern rock with The Whippoorwill in 2012, their relentless touring turning the band into a water tight unit. That was never more evident than on the considerable upgrade of 2015’s Holding All The Roses, recorded with mega-produced Brendan O’Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam). 

Now on a roll, the band took the tireless work ethic with which they approached touring and applied it to recording. Like An Arrow came hot on the heels of Holding All The Roses, earning the band comparisons to The Black Crowes. Find A Light arrived in 2018, with a guest appearance from Amanda Shires.

In 2021, Blackberry Smoke released their seventh studio album You Hear Georgia, their worn-in, old-school rock ‘n’ roll undiminished and giving no quarter to trends or time. To support the album’s release, they announced a UK tour for February and March 2022. The group announced that their eighth studio album, Be Right Here, would arrived in February 2024.

    I class these as my favourite 21st century band, and they did not disappoint. Pretty well 2 hours and all top quality.

    Excellent gig, the band were fantastic! The venue is really good too, we had seats in the circle with perfect views, the staff are so helpful and security was good, we felt safe. All in all, a great venue and experience.

  • Wow!!!😎

    Oh god where to start!? The venue: smaller than i expected, my first time at the o2 academy, i did expect a bigger venue, but my disappointment was short lived. Spacious room with balconies and 2 bars easily accessible..support band were AMAZING! Had never heard of them previosly but will be looking to see them again soon hopefully, they were exceptional. When Blackberry Smoke came on and played they blew my mind!! The sound was phenomenal..it was as good as, if not better than a studio sound! The gig was personal, intimate and mind rocking sex for the ears...i wasn't disappointed and i cant wait to attend another gig..security was top notch with fĂšll searches and the staff were professional at all times..top marks for the o2 academy..and massive thanks to Blackberry Smoke for an amazing night of pure class and excellence in live music!!

    Excellent night, band were brilliant, enjoyed the evening. The only issue was getting out of the multi storey car park, good price parking but took us a while to get off the car park. Overall good night.

    Blackberry smoke were absolutely superb and put their heart and soul into every song. The atmosphere was superb and I enjoyed every second. Their support act 'Bones Owens' was also brilliant and has to be one of the best support acts I've seen in quite a while. Well worth checking out 👍🏻
