Darius Rucker to return for 16th Annual ‘Darius and Friends’ St. Jude Benefit concert
Darius Rucker returns to the historic Ryman Auditorium on Monday, June 2 for his 16th annual “Darius and Friends” concert benefitting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The event unofficially kicks off the week of CMA Fest in downtown Nashville, and has raised more than $4.3 million to date, will feature a surprise all-star roster of friends as has become tradition at the annual celebration.
Rucker posted on his socials: “Here we go! I’m beyond excited to announce the 16th annual “Darius and Friends” concert! Join me on Monday, June 2nd at the legendary @theryman as we come together to raise money for the incredible kids at @stjude. Let’s make it another unforgettable night for a great cause!”
Rucker made a commitment to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital nearly two decades ago after taking an inspiring tour of the hospital. Through that experience, Rucker learned how St. Jude is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Following that 2008 visit, Rucker’s effort has since become an annual tradition. Friends performing with Rucker in past years have included Lauren Alaina, Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Brothers Osborne, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs, Sheryl Crow, Dan + Shay, Vince Gill, Jamey Johnson, Jelly Roll, Charles Kelley of Lady A, Ashley McBryde, A.J. McLean of the Backstreet Boys, Megan Moroney, Brad Paisley, Kenny Rogers and Tommy Thayer of KISS, among many others.
