Darius Rucker to join Absolute Radio Country for a new series

Country music singer Darius Rucker is joining Absolute Radio Country to host his own series.

Starting Sunday 23rd February at 7pm, the former Hootie & the Blowfish singer will be presenting four two-hour shows sharing the country music tracks that mean the most to him whilst also sharing his own stories of life as a musician.

Currently in the UK writing and recording for an upcoming project, Darius is also hosting the CMA Songwriters Series at the O2 in March before a UK arena tour this October with support from Jake Owen and The Shires.

Darius said: ‘I wanted to make the most of every minute that I’m spending here in the UK so when Absolute Radio County came calling and asked me to do these new shows I couldn’t say no. Join me from 23rd February when I’ll be sharing stories and songs I love from the music genre that I love – can’t think of a better way to be spending my Sunday evenings…’

Ricky Marshall, Head of Content for Absolute Radio Country said: “We’re so happy that Darius has joined the Absolute Radio Country family for this special series of shows whilst he’s here in the UK.

“He’s a true country trailblazer and our audience have loved his music for years. To get the chance to hear the stories from his incredible career and have him handpick his favourite songs is something really special.”
