Darius Rucker places Jacksonville in a ‘Southern State of Mind’

Posted

On Sept. 30, country music fans converged on Daily’s Place amphitheater in Jacksonville to see multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning artist Darius Rucker perform live in concert.

Rucker performed some of his most popular songs as both a solo country artist and the lead singer of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. 

In performing one of his more recent hits, “If I Told You,” off his 2017 album “When Was the Last Time,” Rucker revealed it was one of his personal favorites.

“A friend of mine sent me this song,” he said, “and this is one of the greatest songs I’ve ever gotten to sing.” 

Rucker’s other performances included “Southern State of Mind,” “Alright,” “Radio,” “This, “Straight to Hell” and even Garth Brooks’ crowd-pleaser, “Friends in Low Places.” He was also joined onstage at one point by his opening act, fellow country artist Russell Dickerson, for a performance of the Hootie & the Blowfish classic, “Hold My Hand.”
