The friends came through again. Darius Rucker’s 16th annual “Darius and Friends” benefit concert and golf tournament, held over the weekend in Nashville, raised over $815-thousand for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The concert at the Ryman Auditorium featured surprise guests like Morgan Wallen and Luke Bryan, with performances by Tyler Braden, Kashus Culpepper, Lanie Gardner, and Austin Williams. The golf event followed at Old Natchez Country Club. The money supports St. Jude’s work to help kids with cancer. Rucker, who hosts every year, said the event’s success comes from fans and artists coming together for a great cause. This year’s total pushes his contributions to St. Jude past $4.3-million.
