“A Charleston native, Rucker’s love of the Lowcountry has influenced his entire musical career, from his days at the University of South Carolina where he and three friends formed Hootie & the Blowfish to his solo country albums. Songs like “Southern State of Mind,” “Lowcountry,” and “In a Big Way” provide a glimpse of that laid-back, no-need-to-rush lifestyle that keeps Rucker’s heart in South Carolina.”
