Growing up in South Carolina my entire life, Hootie & the
Blowfish, and Darius Rucker in particular, is less than a god,
but more than a man… from Columbia to the low country.
Of course, it makes sense considering the singer was born and
raised in Charleston, SC, and went to school at the University
of South Carolina in Columbia.
Not to mention, Hootie & the Blowfish was on top of the
pop world in the ’90s to early 2000s, and Darius has
seen a ton of success as a country singer.
Nevertheless, when he makes an appearance in Columbia for a
concert, the city practically shuts down for the entire day in
anticipation.
