Darius Rucker is ready.
For the first time since his days fronting Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker is set to headline his own shows. This time, of course, they’re country.
Rucker’s debut country album Learn to Live went platinum and the follow-up Charleston, SC, 1966 is gold. While fans were snapping up albums, Rucker was opening shows for some of the biggest names in country music. Now, he’s poised to take his country career to the next level and bring some of country’s up-and-comers along for the ride. Rodney Atkins, Frankie Ballard, Justin Moore and Thompson Square will join Rucker on select dates throughout the tour.
“I haven’t headlined a tour since Hootie, so to say I’m excited is an understatement,” Rucker says in a statement. “It has been such an incredible experience to tour with (Brad) Paisley and Rascal Flatts, and I’ve learned a lot being on the road with them. With this tour, I’m just excited to perform again for our fans.”
A complete tour itinerary will be released in the coming weeks.
