About

Black Stone Cherry was founded in 2001 by guitarist and lead vocalist Chris Robertson and John Fred Young, drummer and backing vocalist, who were long-time friends. Joining forces with Ben Wells on rhythm and lead guitars and Jon Lawhon on bass guitar, the band started out by playing gigs in their local town of Edmonton, Kentucky. John Fred Young is the son of rhythm guitarist Richard Young from the Grammy Award-winning band The Kentucky Headhunters, which Black Stone Cherry cite as one of their earliest influences, along with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Muddy Waters and Cream. In their early days the band rehearsed and wrote in the same farmhouse that The Kentucky Headhunters had used as rehearsal space.
The band quickly gained a following for their live shows in their home state of Kentucky, and by 2005 they were signed to Roadrunner Records. The band released their first eponymously titled album in 2006 and were given a huge welcome back at their home town, where they performed for over 1500 fans. A live album recorded at London's Astoria in October 2007 was produced to mark the final show of their first international tour and was released in a limited edition of just 1,000 copies. In the same year the band won an award for Best New Band at the London Classic Rock Awards.
It is their tours for which the band is best known. An arena tour of the UK and Ireland in 2008 saw them take to the stage with Whitesnake and Def Leppard, with Black Stone Cherry as the opening act. May 2009 saw the band supporting Nickelback on the European leg of their Dark Horse Tour. They have supported Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bad Company and were the headline act at the 2013 Download Festival.

    Venue issues

    by RI Rick on 3/4/24Wally's - Hampton

    The bands were amazing….. all three!! The venue was a little acoustically challenged . I enjoyed the show at The Goat in July better. Only because of the venue. As I said before, I loved all three bands!!

    Meh setlist

    by XXRMGXX on 3/4/24Wally's - Hampton

    Found their setlist to be incredibly disappointing 😞 Maybe it was just a personal preference of wanting to hear Rain Wizard and Hell and High Water

    Still amazing

    by Steve A on 2/21/24Madrid Theatre - Kansas City

    Black stone cherry continues to impress me every time that I see them they have so much enery that transfers to the audience. I appreciate that they don't use any backing soundtracks that so many other bands are using. They are an amazing band and I have never understood why they don't receive the same following stateside that they see in England and Europe. This is the one band that I will continue to go out and see.

    by Rock mom on 2/21/24Madrid Theatre - Kansas City

    Black Stone Cherry rock! I was totally surprised by the energy they bring. I've seen them before and didn't remember that. It was a great show and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

    Black Stone Cherry in Kansas City

    by Wellsie on 2/21/24Madrid Theatre - Kansas City

    BSC have always been a go to band for me; however I had never seen them live. Fixed that and they did not disappoint, in your face rock with no apologies. Saint Asonia and Any Given Sin were a great lead in to get the crowd ready. BSC are a great live act and gave me a night in KC to forget the tragedy at the Super Bowl Parade.

    BSC puts on one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. They sound amazing live and they ROCK OUT. I have seen them 3 times now (most recent ft smith, AR.) Would absolutely recommend and would see them again for sure!!
