BLACKBERRY SMOKE: RATTLE, RAMBLE AND ROLL TOUR 2026
CRITIC'S PICK:
Fri. April 4
Blackberry Smoke, The Band Feel, Frederick Brown Jr. Amphitheater - Atlanta's most popular and hardest working contemporary Southern music practitioners showed their 70s blues rock roots when they dug into "Run With the Pack" from a recent Bad Company tribute. That's just one of the covers they are likely to toss into a set heavy on frontman singer/songwriter Charlie Starr's originals which have dominated their two-decade plus, ten album career. Not only are their GA roots highlighted note album You Hear Me Georgia (2021) but Smoke has taken its plucky, red-clay sound around the world to remarkably impressive acclaim. It's always a treat when they return to play for a hometown crowd. Let's show 'em some love. - Hal Horowitz

Event Description
First time at the Fred!
Throughout their career, Blackberry Smoke have embodied Georgia's rich musical legacy, honoring the people, places and sounds of their home state. Their latest album, Be Right Here draws inspiration from Southern rock, blues-leaning classic rock and rootsy vintage country and is full of vivid and relatable characters that ensure the songs often resemble rich short stories.
Over the past two decades, Blackberry Smoke has amassed the following of a loyal fanbase, leading their last six full-length albums to achieve great chart success, including 2021’s You Hear Georgia, which reached #1 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart and 2024’s Be Right Here, which reached the top 5 on the Top Current Album Sales chart.
Touring relentlessly, the band know a little something about hitting the road in order to find a place to belong, and supported by the strong fanbase of Brothers and Sisters, legions of whom travel across the globe to support the band, they in turn give fans a palace to belong.
Over the years the band has appeared across the globe on stages such as Austin City Limits, Bonnaroo, Summerfest, Glastonbury, Download UK, to name a few, and has no plans to stop anytime soon.
For Blackberry Smoke, embracing the light and finding the silver lining are once again at the heart of what they do best.
