[@jessmonsam25]

Benji ROCKS 👍🎶

[@darlaa8814]

Great guitar player with an epic beard!

[@zulmarlopes6021]

The best southern rock band in the world is also highly technological yet listening to BBS seems so simple.Benji Shanks, as a guest of the band is a very special guy playing guitar & mandolim 🤟🇧🇷

[@ryanlopez3198]

I haven't seen the smoke since Rockford with Rick Nielsen during the pandemic kind of need to see them again one of my favorite live Acts

[@user-et2fj8xm5l]

Benji Shanks is the best thing that ever happened to BBS long live the Smoke!!!

[@TheStratfanatic]

Wow easy and so good

[@izzwardo5979]

Blackberry smoke is my absolute favorite band but Benji was not friendly in Lake Tahoe. He blew us off when we were trying to say hi to him. I get it, I know he just wanted to leave but he could have been cooler to his die hard fans. Charlie on the other hand was so cool and actually came out and shook my hand and my dads hand after the show.

[@filippofranzin6610]

come to Italy as soon as possible....

[@dmitriyp]

Great job man!

Ain't much left of me is my life to a t but I'm still hanging on! 62 and they keep taking parts out

[@tylercummins9358]

What is the song playing in the background in the beginning?

[@erickempton6502]

Sounds like Not Fade Away an old Buddy Holly song. Might be Charlie singing it.

[@TheChuckcheese]

I signed off after the Gibsons

[@jerrybarton514]

The smoke has taken over southern rock.all hale the smoke. I found you people on you tube. And your songs have been copied from my life. The only other man to rank where you people do, died in 1978. And that was Ronnie van Zant. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES! WE WANT YOU AROUND FOR A LONG TIME COMING.

[@michaelzimmerman9221]

Found these guys by chance 12yrs ago and haven’t stopped since! Best band around, hands down!

[@jimmyhartman573]

Have to agree whole hearted with HemiTwist . . .Blackberry is without a doubt the best southern rock around!! Benji is the secret sauce to the "love gumbo " created in the studio and live stage . . keep up the good work boys and girls and everyone involved , you shine a light on what appears to be a dark period of time . . . y'all deserve a hero's welcome anywhere you show

[@Paulbarnesjr]

Awesome!!!

[@lisahammond161]

Hello Benji Shanks, Welcome to BlackBerry Smoke, I'm an Arkansas Fan. I hear a Sound Check time ♡

[@davetighe]

Nice interview, no BS from this BBS ✌️👍

[@sixtyninetele]

Fucking love you, man. Shanks a bunch for the slide work, Brother!!!

[@Ephesians-ts8ze]

Somebody got shanked?

[@ronnierazor4302]

Now Charlie's and Paul's rig! I'm really curious about that JCM800 I've seen behind Paul. And maybe a tone demo?

[@davidcraft4919]

Thanks for sharing, Benji! I may yet get one of those Klon Klones.....

[@kallelepik373]

Welcome, Benji as a member of the greatest southern band in the world. Not only a shitty drummer but a brilliant guitarist and real nice guy. Good to see you getting comfortable in the band! Thank you, hey to all of the family. Kal.

[@cruckdriver7]

Used to watch Benji play with the Atlanta based Allman Bros tribute band "Revival". So glad he got on with BBS, the man can crush any ABB tune.

[@fuzzybutkus8970]

Love this guy,He’s my go to guy for anything Allman Bros. On BlackBerry. His slide work is flawless.

[@davidboggs3057]

Benji is a brilliant player..no matter what he's on. The slide is epic though. Whew.

[@elliottbarcus9649]

Love the d'addario bulk EXL-25 pack on the guitar road cab.

[@walterjr.steinert6054]

So glad Benji came on board BBS full time!

[@brandonfick4996]

Absolutely killer!

[@TommyRogersAlabama]

I see you are a fellow P90 lover..

[@bryonkidder6199]

I would like to hear some more sweet sound of the mandolin in the Blackberry Smoke sound, the best band to come out since the 2000's began...imolol MORE PLEASE!!!!!

[@MMM54399]

Cheers

[@ratkatbarnes5238]

FANS- The best thing we can do, is spread the WORD about this band. BUY BUY BUY EVERYTHING that will help support them, and help them be able to tour! Just like "grateful dead"- they are doing their best to stay away from the "music industry WOLVES". WE are who they play for (outside their love for making it) So, lets show them OUR LOVE! Support them, spread the word!

[@johnobrien3816]

It's happened a friend has bought me tickets for blackberry smoke there is a god there is a heaven 🙌 god bless the smoke and charlee starr for president.

[@charlesshepherd2004]

So cool to hear from this guy. He's been the chill guitar player in the background, keeping it classy.

[@CBGypsy03]

Wow that was so cool, Benji is a stand up fella and would love to have one of those SGs. Rock on 🤘🏼

[@mikeshane9415]

Don’t understand a damn thing you said but I love what you do, a fine addition to the band!!!

[@josephambrosio1250]

Love it Benji Rock on BBS!!!! My favorite Band👊

[@josephschwerdtfeger3872]

[@jackjetpilot]

BBS!

[@gabefranks743]

So is Paul Jackson still with bbs ? Is this fella a replacement or an addition

[@simonvanderheijden432]

Addition, as far as I know Paul's still with the band. They need the high harmonies.. ;)

[@Fukna69]

I’m glad to see he’s not afraid to take his tools of trade to work with him
