Written by Jon Stickler
Blackberry Smoke have announced an extensive North American tour for the summer.
The Atlanta band will launch the Spirit Of The South Tour: A Celebration of Southern Rock and Roll in July, with special guests the Allman Betts Band, the Wild Feathers and founding member of the Allman Brothers Band, Jaimoe. As part of a statement about the tour, Blackberry Smoke lead singer Charlie Starr said:
"On this tour we’d like to celebrate the musical freedom championed by those pioneers, and maybe help tell the story. It’s not only what people think of as Southern Rock, but all the elements in Rock and Roll that make it Southern. It’s blues, gospel, soul, jazz and bluegrass…everything that took root in the South and spread all over the world. We feel this tour is going to give us all a unique opportunity for something really special."
The southern rock extravaganza will run through to the end of August, with each show including a collaborative jam finale between all bands on the bill, as well as some surprise special guests. Each stop will also present the new Allman Brothers Band Museum At The Big House mobile exhibition.
Blackberry Smoke released their live concert film and album, 'Homecoming: Live in Atlanta' in 2019. They are currently working again with producer Dave Cobb on the follow-up to 2018's 'Find A Light'.
Tickets for the tour go on general sale at 10am on March 6.
