Blackberry Smoke will perform two special acoustic shows at the Lexington Opera House on March 14 & 15 as part of their “Break It Down Tour”—the band’s first-ever acoustic tour.
The stripped down performances celebrate the band's new acoustic EP, The Southern Ground Sessions, which was released last fall to critical acclaim. Of the release, Guitar World praises, "With the new EP, a band that has defied critics to pigeonhole them have further proven that there is no one genre that can contain their versatile sound."
Pigeonholing Blackberry Smoke has never been easy. Since emerging from Atlanta in the early ’00s, the quintet has become known for a singular sound indebted to classic rock, blues, country and folk, enjoyed by fans of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gov’t Mule, Grateful Dead and more.
Blackberry Smoke has evolved from rough-edged club act to arena-ready rock ‘n’ roll juggernauts, while steadily extending and expanding the Southern rock tradition. Since the group’s formation in 2000, the band has never shied away from hard work, playing more than 250 shows a year.
