Darius Rucker

Three-time GRAMMY Award winner Darius Rucker is set to bring his signature sound to
Canada this fall with his ‘Darius Rucker Live’ tour. Produced by Live Nation, the eight-city trek kicks off on October
15, 2025, at Abbotsford Centre in Abbotsford, BC, making stops across Canada in cities including Edmonton,
Toronto, Ottawa, and more before wrapping up on October 26, 2025, at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, ON.
The tour comes as Rucker continues to celebrate the success of his latest album, Carolyn’s Boy, featuring hits like
his No. 1 single “Beers and Sunshine” and “Ol’ Church Hymn” (featuring Chapel Hart). Known for his dynamic
stage presence and genre-spanning hits, Rucker’s Canadian fans can expect an unforgettable night filled with both
classic anthems and new favorites.

Rucker first achieved multi-Platinum status in the music industry as lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the GRAMMY
Award-winning band Hootie & the Blowfish, who have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide including their
Double Diamond-certified (22x Platinum) debut Cracked Rear View, which remains among the top 10 best-selling
studio albums of all time. Since releasing his first Country album in 2008, Rucker has earned a whole new legion of
fans with four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart plus 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio and 11 Gold,
Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits. Rucker was inducted as a Grand Ole Opry member in 2012 and he won his
third career GRAMMY Award in 2014 for Best Solo Country Performance with his Diamond-certified (11x Platinum)
version of “Wagon Wheel,” one of the top five best-selling Country songs of all time. His latest album Carolyn’s Boy
(featuring recent single “Never Been Over” with Jennifer Nettles) is available everywhere now as is his New York
Times bestselling memoir “Life’s Too Short,” released via Dey Street in 2024.
As a lifelong philanthropist, Rucker co-chaired the capital campaign that generated $150 million to help build the
new MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. and has raised over $4.3 million
for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through his annual Darius & Friends benefit concert and golf tournament.
In addition, Rucker has advocated for over 200 charitable causes supporting public education and junior golf
programs in South Carolina through the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation and serves as a National Chair for the
National Museum of African American Music in Nashville, Tenn. Rucker is also an avid sports fan, with his Darius
Rucker Collection by Fanatics line of NFL, MLB, NHL and NCAA apparel available via Fanatics.com, and he is part
of the Music City Baseball investment group working to bring an MLB team to Tennessee in addition to serving as a
partner at the MGC Sports & Entertainment agency.
