Darius Rucker returns to the Ryman Auditorium on August 17th for the Darius and Friends concert to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

According to his website, he says, “The incredible work being done at St. Jude really made an impact on me when I had a chance to visit and hear the patients’ stories. They are some of the bravest people I’ve ever met and being able to support them with this event is always a highlight of my year. I’m so glad we’ll be back to performing in front of a full house at the Ryman for such a great cause!”

Darius has raised over $2 million dollars for the hospital over the years.

Tickets go on sale Friday through Ticketmaster. To view the streamed concert at home visit Mandolin.com.
