Charlie Starr is the vocalist and lead guitarist of Blackberry Smoke, an American rock and roll band well known for their blend of country, blues, and rock.

His distinctive voice, gritty yet soulful, became a defining element of Blackberry Smoke’s sound, captivating audiences worldwide.

Starr’s songwriting prowess shines through in Blackberry Smoke’s discography, crafting heartfelt lyrics that resonate with listeners on themes of love, life’s struggles, and the American experience. Since forming out of the Atlanta music scene in 2000, Blackberry Smoke has been churning out their own sturdy take on Southern rock and roll.

The band’s mighty music catalog, consisting of more than 20 studio albums and a score of live releases, has racked up multi-platinum album sales many times over. A typically rich MTB setlist is bubbling over with a healthy dose of hits like the heartfelt singalong “Heard It in a Love Song,” the insistent pleading of “Can’t You See” (the signature tune of MTB’s late co-founding lead guitarist and then-principal songwriter Toy Caldwell), the testifying “Fire on the Mountain,” the wanderlust gallop of “Long Hard Ride,” and the explosive testimony of “Ramblin,’” to name but a few.

Johnny Rawls –
Johnny Rawls is a soul blues legend with too many accolades to mention here. With a career spanning more than 50 years, he’s done it all. He’s an internationally recognized recording artist, music producer, and songwriter who tours extensively nationally and internationally.

The Blues Music Awards, Blues Blast Awards, Living Blues Awards, and the W. C. Handy Awards have all acknowledged Johnny with 26 Nominations and 9 Blues Awards, including Soul Blues Album of the Year and Soul Blues Artist of the Year. Living Blues Magazine described him as a “soul-blues renaissance man” when he was featured on the cover in 2002. Johnny is honored to be mentioned on two markers along the Mississippi Blues Trail – one in Hattiesburg, MS marking the Hi-Hat Club, and another in Rocklin ME marking the migration of blues from Mississippi to Maine.

Jimmy Wooten –
Hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana, Jimmy Wooten is a seasoned musician who has toured the past fifteen years with bands internationally, but, with the recent release of his fourteen-track debut album, Collision Course, he is solidifying himself as a true songsmith. With a sound rooted in rock, country, blues, and soul, his music takes you on an auditory journey that you won’t soon forget.

Skyler Saufley –
As a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Skyler Saufley is not your typical blues artist, and his journey to become one is uniquely his own.

Specializing in jump, swing, and west coast style blues, coupled with his impeccable stage presence and knack for showmanship, Saufley’s talent becomes impossible to ignore, evoking the spirit of blues legends T-Bone Walker and Pee Wee Crayton.

Kendall Jackson –
Kendall Jackson is a dynamic saxophonist known for the intensity and passion he brings to every performance. His powerful, soulful sound has captivated audiences across North Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, earning him a reputation as a rising star in the regional music scene. Kendall’s remarkable talent and energy leave a lasting impression, making him one of the most talked-about saxophonists in the area.

THESE PERFORMANCES ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY A GRANT FROM THE ALABAMA STATE COUNCIL ON THE ARTS AND OUR FAITHFUL SPONSORS.

As the Civil Rights movement is brewing, a controversial children’s book about a black rabbit marrying a white rabbit stirs the passions of a segregationist State Senator and a no-nonsense State Librarian in 1959 Montgomery, Alabama. A contrasting story of childhood friends—an African American man and a white woman of privilege, reunited in adulthood—provides private counterpoint to the public events swirling in the state capital. Political foes, star-crossed lovers, and one feisty children’s author inhabit the same page in a Deep South of the imagination that brims with humor, heartbreak, and hope. Inspired by true events!
