Atlanta-based Americana outfit Blackberry Smoke—which helped usher in the return of live music to Tampa Bay in 2021—already has a brand-new era lined up for a spring world tour.

Paul Jackson and company, often cited as a more modern source for fans of Tom Petty and Jason Isbell, have a 10-track album (Be Right Here) in the pipeline, and so far, the record’s two singles indeed resemble material that Petty would have worked on during his Last DJ days in the early 2000s.

Tickets to see Blackberry Smoke at St. Pete’s Jannus Live on Saturday, Nov. 11 are still available and cost $30.
