NEWS Blackberry Smoke book Belfast show

IN celebration of the new album, the band - who have been called �country-rock�s most ferocious live band� by Rolling Stone�will tour throughout 2018, including a headline show at Belfast�s Telegraph Building on Tuesday November 06th 2018.
Tickets on sale Friday 02nd March at 9am from the usual outlets.

Blackberry Smoke�s highly anticipated new album, Find A Light will be released April 6 on Thirty Tigers and is now available for pre-order. Already receiving widespread attention, the album�s lead track, �Flesh And Bone,� recently premiered at Rolling Stone (listen/share HERE). Of the song, Rolling Stone praises that it,  ��sees Blackberry Smoke in full-on swagger�as well they should be. Starr and co. are riding a hot streak�A gritty stomper, �Flesh And Bone� crunches like an early Nineties grunge song, but tweaked with Georgia twang that�s become a Blackberry Smoke signature.�

Additionally, Guitar World declares, ��Flesh And Bone� is a greasy, stomping, slide-guitar-packed tune with a IV section that recalls mid-period Led Zeppelin.�

�Best Seat In The House� is the second song unveiled from the new album (listen/share HERE). Of the song, lead singer Charlie Starr comments, �That song is sort of a sarcastic complaint...we all want what we ain�t got. It�s not enough to get in, people want front row��
Self-produced by the acclaimed 5-piece band, Find A Light is Blackberry Smoke�s sixth full-length studio album and features 13 new songs written/co-written by lead-singer and guitarist Charlie Starr.

In addition to Starr and band-members Richard Turner (bass, vocals), Brit Turner (drums), Paul Jackson (guitar, vocals), and Brandon Still (keyboards), the album also features special guests Robert Randolph (�I�ll Keep Ramblin��), Amanda Shires (�Let Me Down Easy�) and The Wood Brothers (�Mother Mountain�).

Of the album, Starr comments, �The new album is a melting pot of Blackberry Smoke music with a wide range of sound and emotion. I think it�s our most inspired work yet.�

The release of Find A Light culminates a series of breakthrough years for the Atlanta-based band following the release of 2016�s acclaimed album, Like An Arrow, which debuted at #1 on Billboard�s Country and Americana charts.

Released to widespread praise, the Boston Globe declared, ��the needle can be dropped on Like an Arrow until it�s grooves become as well-worn as the classic albums that inspired this band of country-rock workhorses,� while American Songwriter asserted, ��Blackberry Smoke fills the bill for the next generation of gutsy, heartfelt and honest Southeast rocking with plenty of talent, tons of drive and no apologies.�

In August 2017, they made their debut on CBS� �The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.�

In addition to their work as musicians, Blackberry Smoke remains committed to charitable work and has raised nearly $200,000 benefiting children�s cancer research.
