Surprising Darius Rucker Trivia for His Grand Junction Concert

• Darius Rucker was the 2009 Country Music Association’s ‘New Artist of the Year’. The last African American to do so since Charley Pride won Entertainer of the Year in 1971.
• Rucker has a heart of gold. He has hosted the Darius & Friends Celebrity Golf Tournament since 2012, to benefit St Jude Children’s Research Hospital (and others). The tournament and concert have raised millions for child cancer research.
• Darius loves a good cameo. What shows have you seen him in? He's appeared in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, episodes of Hannah Montana, and as a cartoon version of himself in American Dad. He also voiced Nashville Cats in Disney’s Handy Manny.
• Darius has a secret R&B album. It came out in 2002. It wasn’t really a secret. Before his country breakout, he recorded Back to Then which featured Jill Scott.
• Darius has two great loves – The NCAA tournament and his alma mater, the University of South Carolina. Following Darius is a great way to pick a nearly perfect NCAA bracket.
