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.

Atlanta Georgia’s southern rockers, Blackberry Smoke, were just getting the evening started when singer/guitarist Charlie Starr belted out the lyrics “We’re gonna keep this party rockin’/Till the break of dawn” from one of the band’s many hits, “Good One Comin’ On.”

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.
