Blackberry Smoke formed in Atlanta around 2000, building a reputation through relentless touring and a distinctive blend of Southern rock, blues, and country. They’ve become a standout independent act with a string of chart-topping albums and a reputation for tight live performances. As of 2024, the band continues to honor their legacy and press forward with new music and shows, even after the passing of drummer Brit Turner. Here’s a closer look at their journey, discography highlights, and upcoming tour dates across the United States.
Be Right Here (2024), produced by Dave Cobb, arrived on 3 Legged Records and debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Current Country Albums, Americana/Folk Albums, and Current Rock Albums charts. The record follows nearly two decades of chart success, including You Hear Georgia (2021) hitting No. 1 on Americana/Folk, and The Whippoorwill (2012) breaking into the Billboard 200. The band’s ongoing live presence includes touring with a rotating lineup following Brit Turner’s passing in 2024, with Kent Aberle and other talented players joining the stages.
