ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Hootie & the Blowfish

Hootie & the Blowfish formed through friendships at the University of South Carolina in the 1980s. Darius Rucker's baritone became a central feature of the group's mixture of folk, rock and pop. Cracked Rear View introduced songs including Hold My Hand and Only Wanna Be with You in 1994. Members later pursued other projects, including Rucker's country solo work, before the band returned to recording with Imperfect Circle in 2019.
