Charleston’s own Darius Rucker will return to the Holy City for a special one-night-only event, the Darius Rucker Big Band Gala presented by Explore Charleston, set for Tuesday, April 7 at the Gaillard Center. The gala performance offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Rucker in an elevated, intimate concert setting backed by Robert Lewis and the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, conducted by Peter Graves, creating a distinctive evening tailored to the Gaillard Center stage.
A portion of proceeds will benefit the CMA Foundation’s music education initiatives for Charleston County Schools and Carolyn G. Rucker Nursing Scholarship at MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital, continuing Rucker’s longstanding commitment to giving back to the community that raised him.
“These big band shows are some of my favorite nights as it’s the only time I get to perform so many of the standards we all grew up listening to with the backing of such an incredible orchestra,” offers Rucker. “It’s all to benefit incredible non-profit work locally.”
Tickets for the Darius Rucker Big Band Gala go on sale this Friday, Feb. 20 at 10 a.m. local time via GaillardCenter.org, with price points ranging from $50 to $250. Please note that all tickets are non-transferable and will be delivered electronically to the purchaser 48 hours in advance of the show.
