Featured Review
Despite the hot Charleston weather the band Hootie and the Blowfish played a solid set Wednesday, August 11 in Charleston, SC. The show took place at the Family Circle Cup Stadium on Daniel Island near the Charleston Harbor. The stadium has surprisingly good acoustics for an outdoor venue and the seats are not too bad even in the bloody nosed sections.
The band always seems to add a surprise or two (or three) in the covers they play at their shows. You have to love a band that can cover, REM (Losing My Religion), The Violent Femmes (Add It Up), and David Allen Coe (You Never Even Called Me By My Name) in the same show - and pull them all off with enthusiasm and gusto. Singer Darius Rucker has had success the past few years in the country genre and they included a sampling of his solo work also.
The weather cooperated despite the hot and humid lowcountry air - as Rucker pointed out ("It's just hot!") - and the band delivered musically and with civic responsibility. The show helps to support local schools by providing funding for music education via the Hootie and the Blowfish Foundation and provides school supplies by concert goers filling a Charleston County School District school bus with supplies to give to needy students in the area.
If you remotely like the band's music or wish to see a quality, versatile band deliver a musically pleasing and fun show you should go see Hootie and the Blowfish.

Ive seen Hootie as well as Darius dozens of times since '89. The Family Circle Cup is by far the best venue. There's really not a bad seat in the house. Its always a great time and good to see that they keep giving back.

Darius and the guys totally rocked the Family Circle stadium Friday night on Daniel Island. I've been a fan of Hootie and the Blowfish since my college days at the University of South Carolina when they were just a cover band playing frat parties and bars. I have all their CDs and never miss a chance to see them in concert. I've attended the Homegrown show 2 years in a row now and I plan to continue to make it a yearly girls weekend! It's an awesome venue and makes for an incredible concert experience. I don't think there's a bad seat in the stadium! Well worth the money and the drive to see Hootie perform all their hits and to see who the opening act will be ~ fantastic artists the last 2 years to open for them! If you love Hootie, then you will LOVE this concert!

Hard to believe, but Darius told the audience they've been together 26 years! They still sound great and are fun to hear live. A good variety of Hootie songs, a few Rucker singles, and some covers. No surprises in the song selections, but it didn't sound old or tired. They all seem to still really enjoy performing.

My friend and I don't know most of the songs Hootie's songs but it was an amazing show and I would love to go again !! The attendants were very rude to my friend and I and when there was a fight afterwards the attendant and police stepped on my foot. They do not look for short people while they walk through crowds! rude.

This concert was awesome. I felt like it was 1995. The song selection was perfect. Everyone knew every song. The only thing I would change is the beer prices.
