BLACKBERRY SMOKE announce UK tour
4th October 2016Hot off tonight’s appearance on ‘Later….with Jools Holland’ on BBC2, Atlanta country rockers BLACKBERRY SMOKE have announced a UK tour for March 2016 in support of forthcoming fifth studio album, ‘Like An Arrow’ which is set for release on 14 October via Earache.
BLACKBERRY SMOKE’s frontman/guitarist Charlie Starr is looking forward to the UK run, telling us: “We always love to bring new music to crowds who really appreciate it! Some of our favourite moments on stage have come from touring all over Europe and we can’t wait to share ‘Like An Arrow’ with our friends and fans over there. It is a great mix of what we love to do best.”
