Blackberry Smoke announce tour stop in Albany
Jan. 31—ALBANY — Six String Southern Productions and Oak View Group announced Tuesday that Blackberry Smoke will perform live at the Flint River Entertainment Complex's Albany Municipal Auditorium on April 28.
Tickets for the show are reserved seating and start at $59. They go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com and Georgia's Own Credit Union Box Office located at the Albany Civic Center. Opening support will be announced at a later date.
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 — have embodied Georgia's rich musical legacy, honoring the people, places and sounds of their home state. As the band celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, their reverence for Georgia has only deepened.
The hard-touring Blackberry Smoke know a little something about hitting the road to find a place to belong. Over the years, the band has toured with ZZ Top, the Zac Brown Band, and Eric Church, while the group's last four full-lengths reached the top 10 of the Billboard country charts, with two of these albums (2015's "Holding All The Roses" and 2016's "Like An Arrow") landing at No. 1.
