New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) "One of the best live acts in the south,"
Blackberry Smoke head west to LA for a performance of "rollicking" (CMT) Southern rock at The Happy Ending Bar & Restaurant, August 26. These five long-haired road warriors, whose album 'The Whippoorwill' is out August 14 on Zac Brown's Southern Ground Artists, deliver a raucous, swaggering set dripping with guitar riffs and stacked harmonies that "truly do justice to the godfathers of Southern rock."

The Atlanta rockers, playing 200+ shows a year across the U.S. and Europe, have shared the stage with
George Jones, ZZ Top, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Marshall Tucker to name a few. A listen to 'The Whippoorwill' is "like cracking open a time capsule" or as guitarist Paul Jackson puts it, "touching a nerve that people miss in music today. The revival of good ol' Southern music!"
