Blackberry Smoke

Throughout their career, Blackberry Smoke—vocalist/lead guitarist Charlie Starr, guitarist/vocalist Paul Jackson, bassist/vocalist Richard Turner, drummer Brit Turner and keyboardist Brandon Still—has embodied Georgia's rich musical legacy, honoring the people, places and sounds of their home state.

The band, who draws inspiration from Southern rock, blues-leaning classic rock and rootsy vintage country, has developed this confidence and amassed a loyal fanbase over the past two decades, leading their last five full-length albums to achieve great chart success, including 2021's You Hear Georgia, which reached #1 on Billboard's Americana/Folk Albums chart.
