CMA New Artist of 2009 Darius Rucker will host his inaugural "Darius and Friends" concert in Nashville, Tennessee, at The Wildhorse Saloon (120 Second Ave. North., Nashville) on June 7 to benefit the groundbreaking research and lifesaving care of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The concert will include performances by Rucker and select country music friends with additional performers announced at a later date. The concert will begin at 9 p.m. with doors opening at 8 p.m. Tickets to the event are on sale now and can be purchased at www.wildhorsesaloon.com or by calling 615-902-8200.
Rucker is a loyal St. Jude supporter who has visited patients at the hospital and performed at multiple events in support of the hospital's lifesaving mission. After touring the facility in 2009, Rucker vowed to create a personalized event that would raise money and awareness for St. Jude.
"This was a chance for my friends and I to do something during CMA Music Fest week that is for the fans while drawing attention to St. Jude and their incredible efforts," said Rucker. "It's going to be a great night of music and stories."
All proceeds from ticket sales will help St. Jude continue its mission of finding cures and saving children fighting deadly diseases.
