Blackberry Smoke: Atlanta's Southern Rock Standard-Bearers

Formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2000 by drummer Brit Turner, bassist Richard Turner, and vocalist-guitarist Charlie Starr, Blackberry Smoke spent the better part of a decade grinding out shows in the Southeast before national audiences caught on. The 2008 album Bad Luck Ain't No Crime announced their sound -- equal parts Southern rock, alt-country, and Stax soul -- and the 2012 release The Whippoorwill on Zac Brown's Southern Ground Records broke them through to a wider audience with songs like One Horse Town and Pretty Little Lie.

What followed has been one of the most consistent runs in modern rock. Holding All the Roses (2015) debuted at number one on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Like an Arrow (2016), Find a Light (2018), Live from Capricorn Sound Studios (2020), You Hear Georgia (2021), and Be Right Here (2024) -- which dropped to widespread critical praise -- have continued to extend the band's catalog. Wikipedia notes they have been frequent collaborators with artists like Warren Haynes, Amanda Shires, and Jamey Johnson.

The live shows are where the band has built its deepest fanbase. Two-hour-plus sets, frequent jam-band detours, surprise covers, and a willingness to play deep cuts have turned Blackberry Smoke fans into one of the most loyal touring audiences in the country. According to Billboard and other coverage, the band has averaged 100+ shows per year for most of their career -- a true road band by any honest definition.

The loss of Brit Turner in March 2024 was a devastating moment for the band and their community. Brit had stepped back from touring earlier in 2023 due to health issues, and Kent Aberle stepped in to keep the rhythm section moving. The band has talked openly in interviews about playing for and through Brit's legacy. The recent 25th Anniversary Tour routing has been organized partly as a celebration of everything Brit helped build. The setlist.fm archive tracks the band's constant touring.
