Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, DARIUS RUCKER, today announces that he will play his first ever Australian headline dates this March.

Rucker will be joined by one of US country’s most exciting up-and-comers, the dynamic LUKE COMBS.

First attaining international acclaim as the lead singer of Grammy-winning outfit Hootie & The Blowfish before embarking on a solo career in 2008, Darius Rucker has over the past nine years amassed a total of eight #1 Billboard Country Singles including‘Homegrown Honey’, co-written with label-mate Charles Kelley (Lady Antebellum), ‘Come Back Song’ and ‘If I Told You’, the lead single from his latest album.
