About the Artists

Darius Rucker

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 (21x 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, including RIAA Platinum-certified Learn to Live and True Believers, 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 in 2014 he won his third career GRAMMY Award 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. He topped the charts at Country radio once again with “Beers And Sunshine” in 2021 and his latest single, “Fires Don’t Start Themselves” off brand-new album Carolyn’s Boy is available everywhere now.

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 $3.6 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 apparel line available at 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.  

Austin Williams

Born and raised near Nashville, TN in the small town of Pleasant View, Austin was faced with a life changing surgery at the age of fifteen. During this down time, he discovered his passion for writing and singing. He taught himself to play the guitar and went after his new found love. He has been honored to play and write with Chase Matthew, Mo Pitney, Kevin Denney, Craig Campbell, and others. Fans have quickly gravitated to Austin’s sound, songs, and personality on TikTok gathering over 200,000 followers in a three week time period after first teasing songs. Williams' release “90s Rap Mashup” debuted at #1 on the iTunes country charts and #3 on the iTunes all genre charts, later landing on Pandora's Top Hits Station. Recently, he has toured with Warren Zeiders, Larry Fleet, Austin Snell, and Tyler Hubbard just to name a few. Now with a following totaling over 800,000 across platforms and over 185 million cumulative streams, Williams is actively releasing new music.
