Here comes Hootie! Darius Rucker is hitting the road this summer as part of his 2023 Starting Fires Tour. Don't worry, he won't be committing arson. Just playing hits from old and new all across the U.S., kicking off on June 12th and wrapping up on October 14th.

Many know him from his original hits with Hootie & the Blowfish back in the 90's, coming out with songs like "Only Wanna Be with You", "Let Her Cry", and "Hold My Hand". Darius went solo in 2008, switching to Country and finding his own hit songs with "Wagon Wheel", "Come Back Song", "Don't Think I Don't Think About It", and "Alright" to name a few.
