Rock Band Blackberry Smoke Comes to The CCA
By: Stephi Wild

Acclaimed American rock band Blackberry Smoke takes the mainstage at the Capitol Center for the Arts in Downtown Concord, NH on Thursday, September 13 at 7:30PM, as part of its "Find a Light" tour.
Blackberry Smoke is Charlie Starr (vocals, guitar), Richard Turner (bass, vocals), Brit Turner (drums), Paul Jackson (guitar, vocals), and Brandon Still (keyboards). Since their debut in 2004, the band has independently released six full-length records and has toured relentlessly, building a strong and loyal community of fans. Of their latest album, NPR Music praises, "For nearly two decades, Georgia's Blackberry Smoke has been a purveyor of the new Southern rock movement, creating music on its cutting edge...Find a Light pushes the envelope while providing that famous Blackberry Smoke autonomy, delivered with soulful vocals, haunting harmonies and kick ass songs," while Rolling Stone asserts, "Blackberry Smoke is part of a lineage that shares a love of Petty, the Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Hank Williams Jr., able to ride an Americana vibe or peel off a stomping riff and tie it all together without a hint of pretense." In addition to their work as musicians, the band remains committed to charitable work and has raised nearly $200,000 benefiting children's cancer research.
