Here's some info about Darius's benefit here: www.dariusrucker.com/news?n_id=511Darius Rucker has put together an exciting lineup of some of today’s best country music performers for his sixth annual “Darius and Friends” benefit concert June 8 at the Wildhorse Saloon in Nashville. A Thousand Horses, Brett Eldredge, Brothers Osborne, Little Big Town and country music legend Steve Wariner will join Darius to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. With a surprise guest yet to be announced and Nan Kelly of GAC hosting, the fundraiser will mark the kickoff to an exciting week in Nashville when the entire constellation of country stars are in town for CMA Music Festival. The event has always sold out and has raised more than $400,000 for cancer research and treatment in past years. The next day Rucker will host his yearly Darius and Friends Celebrity Tee-Off, a golf tournament that also benefits St. Jude and is sponsored by State Water Heaters. Darius raised a record $120,000 last year between the benefit concert, golf tournament and auction. Maybe Scotty is the surprise guest???

Tennessean Music @tnmusicnews 38m38 minutes ago Full recap of Darius Rucker's benefit live on @tennessean website: tnne.ws/1Mk2X4M This is @tamburintweets signing off. #CMAFest2015 Darius Rucker hosts star-studded St. Jude benefit
Adam Tamburin, atamburin@tennessean.com 11:52 p.m. CDT June 8, 2015 Generations of country hit-makers joined Darius Rucker Monday at the Wildhorse Saloon for a sold-out charity benefit that mixed the camaraderie of the Grand Ole Opry with the spontaneity of a front porch jam session. The sixth annual "Darius and Friends" concert brought Rucker together with Little Big Town, Brett Eldredge, Scotty McCreery, Steve Wariner, A Thousand Horses and Brothers Osborne to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis. It marked the unofficial kickoff of the CMA Music Festival, which is expected to bring about 80,000 country music fans a day to downtown Nashville later this week. McCreery hadn't planned to get into town until later in the week, but he changed his plans when Rucker called to invite him to play."Any time you can help somebody out but also have fun doing it, that's a no-brainer," McCreery said.
All of the acts radiated excitement on the Wildhorse stage. Hits such as Little Big Town's "Girl Crush" and Rucker's "Homegrown Honey" drew easy cheers from the crowd, but a slate of covers gave the evening a unique, unpredictable energy. McCreery led a singalong on George Strait's "Check Yes or No." Eldredge teamed with Rucker to sing the Frank Sinatra classic "That's Life" with steel guitar and a makeshift brass band. And Rucker brought the house down with a set-closing cover of Prince's "Purple Rain." On Tuesday Rucker is hosting an annual golf tournament that also benefits St. Jude. In 2014 Rucker raised $120,000 between the benefit concert, golf tournament and celebrity auction. His annual efforts have raised more than $400,000 for cancer research and treatment in past years. "It's a little dent, but you feel good that you've helped some kid, even if it's just one kid," Rucker said in an interview before the show. "That makes you feel like you're doing something right." ~Reach Adam Tamburin at 615-726-5986 and on Twitter @tamburintweets.

Expect that number to rise by six figures after the numbers come in from Monday's sold-out show at Nashville's Wildhorse Saloon, along with today's golf match. The "Southern Style" singer was joined by buddies Little Big Town, Steve Wariner, Scotty McCreery, Brothers Osborne and A Thousand Horses for the event, which included chart-topping hits, throwback covers and plenty of singalongs.
