Charlie Starr, vocalist and lead guitarist of Blackberry Smoke, brings his signature blend of country, blues, and rock to Ludlow Garage on January 23rd. Born in Lanett, Alabama, Starr’s passion for music was sparked early on, inspired by his family’s deep musical roots and the rock and roll records spinning around the house. His soulful, gritty voice has become a defining part of Blackberry Smoke’s sound, captivating audiences around the world.
As a songwriter, Starr’s lyrics dive into love, life’s struggles, and the American experience — themes that have helped shape Blackberry Smoke’s place in modern Southern rock. Since emerging from the Atlanta music scene in 2000, the band has built a loyal following and earned multiple number one albums. Now, Charlie Starr continues to carry that legacy forward, delivering authentic, heartfelt rock and roll that keeps the spirit of the South alive.
Opening the night we have Bones Owens! Owens is a genre bending artist who cut his teeth playing guitar in bands before stepping into the spotlight with his own raw, blues-infused sound. Raised in rural Missouri, he honed his craft in dive bars and clubs, blending gritty Southern rock with alternative and garage-style energy. His music is built on fuzzed-out riffs, driving rhythms, and anthemic hooks that feel equally at home on a backroad or a festival stage.
