Darius Rucker will head out this summer on his 20-city “Songs of Summer Tour,” beginning June 4 in Toledo, Ohio.
Special guests Lauren Alaina, George Birge, Evan Honer, Old Crow Medicine Show, Robert Randolph and Austin Williams will join Rucker on the new tour, which will visit Atlantic City, Boston, Phoenix, Albuquerque, and more through Aug. 1. Tickets go on sale starting this Friday (Feb. 27), with select cities on sale in March. The tour will also offer VIP packages and experiences including premium tickets, exclusive pre-show meet & greet and photo op with Rucker, backstage tour, autographed tour poster and more.
“For me, it’s not summer if we’re not playing music outdoors,” says Rucker. “When I think of the concerts I love attending, it’s the people, the hits and the hot summer air… there’s nothing that compares, so ‘Songs of Summer’ in a lot of ways is my nod to being in that moment together.”
Rucker also recently announced a one-night-only Big Band Gala at Charleston’s Gaillard Center on April 7. Presented by Explore Charleston, the performance offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Rucker in an elevated, intimate concert setting backed by Robert Lewis and the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, conducted by Peter Graves. A portion of proceeds will benefit the CMA Foundation’s music education initiatives for Charleston County Schools and the Carolyn G. Rucker Nursing Scholarship at MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital.
