Last weekend in Atlantic City, Hootie and the Blowfish frontman-slash-country singer
Darius Rucker lost his voice onstage after three songs, and ended up
issuing full refunds to fans that came out.
The 59-year-old must be on the mend, because his Florida shows—including his seemingly annual stop in Tampa—are still on.
The gigs lean more towards his solo career, including his new, Mom-honoring album Carolyn’s Boy, so don’t get pissy if you don’t hear your favorite Hootie album track.
Tickets to see Darius Rucker play Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tampa on Sunday, July 20 are still available and start at $203.
