Darius Rucker is visiting some classic theaters across the country on his new “Darius Rucker Live” tour, set for early 2022.
The new tour, kicking off Feb. 17, will feature intimate theater performances by Rucker in beautiful venues like the Fox Theater in Detroit, the Saenger in New Orleans, and the Met in Philadelphia, and will feature support from Caylee Hammack on all dates. Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning this Friday, Nov. 5, at 10 a.m. CT via Ticketmaster.
“It’s been a dream of mine for a while to bring our show to these beautiful theaters,” says Rucker. “Some of my favorite venue memories over the years are at places like the Apollo in New York or the Royal Albert Hall in London, as it’s just a different experience when you’re that close. With Hootie, we went straight from playing dive bars to arenas, so there are still a lot of theaters I’ve never had the opportunity to play. I’ll just say that this tour will have a lot of firsts, even for me.”
Rucker will celebrate the news of the new tour with a performance of his current single, “My Masterpiece,” during an appearance this Friday, Nov. 5 on ABC’s Good Morning America. The song was penned by Rucker with Josh Osborne, J.T. Harding and Ross Copperman, the same foursome behind his recent No. 1 hit “Beers And Sunshine.” “My Masterpiece” will be featured on Rucker’s forthcoming album due out next year.
Football fan Rucker is also launching a new apparel line, NFL x Darius Rucker Collection by Fanatics, later this month which was inspired by Darius’ love for both music and football. The assortment will feature tees, fleeces, outerwear and more for all 32 NFL teams and will be available at NFLshop.com and Fanatics.com.
