Win tickets to Blackberry Smoke live at the Academy

Closing Date: Sunday September 07 2014

This form is now expired. Thank you to all those who have submitted files.

Blackberry Smoke will play live at at the Academy on 15th October 2014 and we have 2 tickets to their headline show PLUS a signed live album & DVD “Leave a Scar” and a band T-shirt up for grabs!

Mixing elements of gospel, bluegrass, arena rock, soul and more than a touch of outlaw country, Blackberry Smoke has earned a passionate fan base that continues to grow as the band itself evolves. The band is as blue collar as the bandanas its members wear.

Brit, along with singer and guitarist Charlie Starr, bassist and vocalist Richard Turner, guitarist and vocalist Paul Jackson and keyboardist Brandon Still, have slugged it out on the road for more than a decade, but now regularly sell out headline appearances across the country and overseas. The band's audience, Brit says, feels like more than fans, which is appropriate given that their families are their biggest supporters. Though these road dogs rarely have downtime, they recently managed to carve out enough time to record their newest batch of songs for The Whippoorwill, an album that serves as a platform for smart, battle-tested song writing and for the band's ability to leave audiences breathless.

To be in with a chance to see them live simply answer the question below.
