Blackberry Smoke

Bio

It would be easy to classify Blackberry Smoke as throwbacks. A band that used to weep themselves to sleep every night about how they didn’t form in 1972 until they took a stand and decided to make the 21st century sound as much like the seventies as they could. However, the band are a little more complex than that. The band was formed around the friendship between singer Charlie Starr and guitarist Paul Jackson, who met in LaGrange, Georgia and became gig buddies in short order. The two would head down to the state capital of Atlanta to see bands play, and it was there that they met brothers Brit and Richard Turner, who know play drums and bass respectively.
