Darius Rucker kicked off CMA Fest week with a golf tournament and benefit concert on Tuesday, June 4th, and raised over $95,000 in doing so!  Participants in the golf tournament included Dierks Bentley, Colt Ford, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney from Rascal Flatts, JT Hodges, Charles Kelley from Lady Antebellum, Dustin Lynch, Justin Moore, David Nail, Chucks Wicks, and more!  The concert included performances by Luke Bryan, Sam Bush, John Cowan, Randy Houser, Justin Moore, Dustin Lynch, and more!

“I look forward to this event all year long,” shared Rucker.  “I get to share the stage with some of my favorite artists, friends and musical influences.  As much fun as it is,” continues Rucker, “it’s all in the spirit of raising support for St. Jude’s, an organization very dear to my heart.  Getting to sing with Sam Bush and John Cowan from New Grass Revival, one of the bands that made me want to be a country singer, made the night even more amazing for me.” Rucker joined Bush and Cowan for a performance of New Grass Revival’s “Callin’ Baton Rouge.”
