Atlanta, Georgia southern rock/outlaw country act BLACKBERRY SMOKE have signed a European record deal with long-standing British independent label Earache Records.
Consisting of members CHARLIE STARR (guitar/vocals), PAUL JACKSON (guitar/vocals), RICHARD TURNER (bass/vocals), BRANDON STILL (keys) and BRIT TURNER (drums), BLACKBERRY SMOKE expertly mix elements of southern rock, blues, soul and more than a touch of outlaw country, earning themselves a passionate fanbase that continues to grow. The band have already toured with the likes of ZZ TOP and LYNYRD SKYNYRD, and earned heaps of praise as a hard-working group which performs up to 250 shows a year.
BLACKBERRY SMOKE‘s critically acclaimed 2012 album, THE WHIPPOORWILL, will now finally see a release in Europe through Earache on February 17th, 2014. The European release will include an exclusive bonus song, „Country Side of Life”, as well as bonus live material.
