In the early days of Hootie & The Blowfish, Darius Rucker and the rest of the band happily accepted cases of beer as payment. Rucker will always love the state of South Carolina. He’s a proud University of South Carolina graduate, and he’s lived in the “Palmetto State” for most of his life (specifically in the Charleston area… which is absolutely beautiful).
