BLACKBERRY SMOKE: BE RIGHT HERE TOUR
WITH SPECIAL GUEST SOUTHALL
Blackberry Smoke comes to Clearwater for their Ruth Eckerd Hall debut on the Be Right Here Tour with special guest Southall! Join us November 8th!
Blackberry Smoke is an American rock band that has been making music since 2000. They play a mix of southern rock, blues rock, hard rock, country rock, and folk rock. When Charlie Starr started writing the songs that would become Blackberry Smoke’s new album, Be Right Here, the first tune the vocalist/lead guitarist worked up was Dig A Hole. Dig A Hole is the lead track on Be Right Here and sets the tone for another expansive set of rock ‘n’ roll from Blackberry Smoke. As always, the Georgia-based band — Starr, keyboardist Brandon Still, guitarist/vocalist Paul Jackson, bassist/vocalist Richard Turner and drummer Brit Turner — draw inspiration from Southern rock, blues - leaning classic rock and rootsy vintage country. But on Be Right Here, Blackberry Smoke sound even more self-assured, from the strength of their songwriting to their musical execution. Over the past two decades, Blackberry Smoke has developed this confidence and amassed a loyal fanbase, 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.
