Black Stone Cherry

Formed in Edmonton, Kentucky, in 2001, Black Stone Cherry translates the American South into hard rock with thick guitars and choruses built for radio. Chris Robertson sings with the rasp of someone who has been through both church and the roadside bar, while the band balances southern rock, post-grunge and blues.

Folklore and Superstition and Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea built a loyal following, especially in the United Kingdom, where the group became a regular draw at major festivals.
