About Blackberry Smoke
Blackberry Smoke is one of the most authentic and respected rock bands to ever come out of Atlanta. Formed in the early 2000s, the band — led by frontman Charlie Starr — built their reputation the hard way, grinding through years of relentless touring and delivering albums that speak directly to the heart of American Southern rock. Their catalog blends Allman Brothers-inspired grooves, outlaw country swagger, and arena-worthy anthems into a sound that is entirely their own.
The band has released critically acclaimed records including The Whippoorwill, Holding All the Roses, and You Hear Georgia, the latter of which landed at number one on the Billboard Country Albums chart and cemented their status as one of the genre's defining acts. Blackberry Smoke in Atlanta is not just a concert — it is a homecoming in the truest sense of the word. These musicians grew up here, built their careers here, and the connection between the band and this city runs deep.
The Holiday Homecoming is a beloved annual tradition that the band has made a cornerstone of their year. Playing in the days immediately following Thanksgiving, the show serves as a warm, celebratory close to the touring calendar and a chance for Atlanta fans to share something intimate and irreplaceable with the musicians they claim as their own. Blackberry Smoke: Holiday Homecoming Atlanta tickets are among the most sought-after in the city's live music calendar every single year.
