Blackberry Smoke, the country rock powerhouse from Atlanta, Georgia, brought a slice of the South to Boston’s House of Blues on March 21. Their performance, which featured excellent instrumentation and a bare-bones visual approach, highlighted the simple beauty of rock and roll, making Boston truly “Hear Georgia.”

Blackberry Smoke brought their version of Southern guitar rock to a full house at the DPAC in Durham on Thursday night. Even with the nice cushy seats, the avid fans stayed on their feet pretty much the whole night, rockin' out with the band.

This was the Spirit of the South tour, originally scheduled for the summer of 2020. It was designed to be a five-hour celebration of Southern rock. The show began at 5:00 p.m. with a set by the Wild Feathers, a country-rock band that formed in 2010 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Despite the heat and humidity, it was nothing short of a glorious summer day on Boston Harbor on August 26th at Leader Bank Pavillion for The Spirit of The South Tour.

Admittedly, I walked into the Blackberry Smoke show on Friday night only familiar with their “Essentials Playlist” on Apple Music. But I walked out of there certain that I needed to buy some bootcut jeans, a little turquoise and grow some chops.
