All-Star Concert and Golf Tournament Benefit St. Jude Children’s

Research Hospital 

NASHVILLE, Tenn.
– With diverse guests – from Brooks & Dunn and KISS’ Tommy Thayer,
to Jamey Johnson and Radney Foster – for nearly a decade,
singer/songwriter and 3x GRAMMY winner Darius Rucker
has spearheaded an event focused on amazing music, memorable
collaborations and heartfelt stories resulting in over $1
million-and-counting raised for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Rucker continues that tradition this summer with his 9th Annual “Darius and Friends” benefit concert. The event, which unofficially kicks-off CMA Music Fest week, is set for Monday, June 4 returning to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium for a second year.
 Pre-sale tickets will be available Tuesday, April 17 at 10 a.m. CT and tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 20 at 10 a.m. CT at www.ticketmaster.com.

“When you see first-hand what this organization can do for families,
it’s remarkable,” Rucker reflects. “Over the years we’ve met so many
survivors, families of patients and volunteers whose lives have been
changed by St. Jude. It’s one of my favorite shows of the year.”

The New Yorker calls Rucker’s voice “extraordinary: rich,
round, and full of nuance,” and perhaps the same can be said for his
heart. Rucker made a commitment to support St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital after touring the facility known around the globe for treating
childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases in 2008.

Friends performing with Rucker in past years have included Luke Bryan,
Luke Combs, Randy Houser, Charles Kelley (Lady Antebellum) and Kenny
Rogers, among others. The lineup for this year’s event will be announced
in the coming weeks.    

Tickets to the 9th Annual Darius & Friends start at $50
for General Admission and go up to $150 for VIP options. Tickets will be
available through the Ryman box office and www.DariusRucker.com.

About St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital

Since opening more than 50 years ago, St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital has changed the way the world treats childhood cancer and other
life-threatening diseases. No family ever pays St. Jude for the care
their child receives and, for every child treated here, thousands more
have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries. The hospital has
played a pivotal role in pushing U.S. pediatric cancer survival rates
from 20 to 80 percent overall, and is the first and only National Cancer
Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center devoted to children.
It is also a leader in the research and treatment of blood disorders and
infectious diseases in children. St. Jude was founded by the late
entertainer Danny Thomas, who believed that no child should die in the
dawn of life. Join that mission by visiting stjude.org or following us on facebook.com/stjude and twitter.com/stjude.
