Blackberry Smoke at Anthology - Rochester
Blackberry Smoke brings a Southern rock and country-rock sound shaped by more than two decades of touring to Rochester, New York. The Atlanta band, led by vocalist and guitarist Charlie Starr, draws on Southern rock, country, and Americana traditions, pairing soulful songwriting with guitar-driven performances.
Formed in 2000, the group built its following through persistent touring and an independent, grassroots approach. Its breakthrough album, The Whippoorwill (2012), earned widespread critical acclaim, while later releases including Holding All the Roses, You Hear Georgia, and Be Right Here (2023) expanded its catalog. The band has also earned multiple No. 1 albums on Billboard's Americana/Folk Albums chart.
