Rob Banks — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 04:43:52 +0000

It’s tough life when you’re a Ticket Wolf. (Trust me — I know him well. VERY well.) He gets hot, he gets sweaty, but he doesn’t mind hanging out with his famous friends. After he got over his stage fright anxiety opening up on stage at Taste Of Country 2013, he had to deal with [...]

It was an absolute blast at the Taste Of Country this year. Every time Jana Kramer comes up to town, it is an absolute blast. I was playing her in some ping-pong before her set, then met up with them after her show where there was some dinner in the ballpark.

#1: “Hold My Hand”
I can't believe that the Taste Of Country is tomorrow!! It's been a quick 25 days, and I hope that we get to hear most of these songs from Darius Rucker tomorrow night down at Coca-Cola Field. You can bet I'll be standing in the crowd, singing along to every word.

We are four days away!!!! The Taste Of Country is this Friday, and Darius Rucker will be in the house to rock the best show of the summer. There’s not a lot of tickets left at all, and you probably won’t be able to grab them at the door, so make sure you grab them [...]

Rob Banks — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 12:30:14 +0000

#5: “Alright” You can’t be in a bad mood while listening to this song! Darius kills it on this one. That is all. Just four more songs left. What do you think still needs to be on the list? [button href="http://wyrk.com/?p=211207" title="See Song #6" align="center"]

Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs: #6 — 'Let Her Cry'

Rob Banks — Sat, 08 Jun 2013 12:17:14 +0000

#6: “Let Her Cry” Arguably, the most famous Hootie and the Blowfish song. It’s the first song I learned how to play when I picked up the guitar. “I consider this the first country song I ever wrote. It shows that what I’m doing now is really not that far from what I was doing [...]

Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs: #7 — 'Get Out Of My Mind'

Rob Banks — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 13:12:05 +0000

This song, my friend and I would jam to all the time a few summers ago. It holds fort at lucky #7 on the list. #7: “Get Out Of My Mind” So we have six songs left after this. Four Hootie songs and two solo Darius songs. Which do you think are going to be [...]

Rob Banks — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 13:07:44 +0000

#8: “This”
Just found out that there are less than 1,000 tickets left for the Taste Of Country. They're going to sell out, so make sure you GRAB YOUR TICKET NOW. There's going to be nothing better on June 14 than drinking a cold beer with your friends, listening to some live music.

Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs: #9 — 'Old Man + Me'

Rob Banks — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:13:43 +0000

I cannot believe it went by this quick. We are under 10 days away until the big show. Only two more Fridays to go!
#9: "Old Man + Me"
It's not a slow song, but Darius sings:
Seen a million places / Seen a million faces die / Well, I wonder, who will walk with me / When I get to Heaven
and I guarantee you it gets stuck in your head.

If you're a Hootie fan, this so

Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs: #10 — 'One Love'

Rob Banks — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 12:07:44 +0000

#10: “One Love” One Love is one of those songs I could listen to on repeat for about three days and not get sick of it. It was the first release off of Looking For Lucky by Hootie back in 2005. I got to see the Blowfish play it right before they took a hiatus, [...]

Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs: #11 — 'Hannah Jane'

Rob Banks — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 08:06:34 +0000

There’s going to be nothing better than hanging out with your friends, having a beer on perfect night listening to LIVE country music in Buffalo. I already checked [...]

Rob Banks' Top 25 Darius Rucker Songs: #12 — 'Running From An Angel'

Rob Banks — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:32:34 +0000

#12: “Running From An Angel” It’s of course off Cracked Rear View from Hootie + The Blowfish. The song even kind of has a little country feel to it, with some guitar solos and violin in there. I would pay some massive money to watch a Hootie show full of Cracked Rear View over and [...]

Rob Banks — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:34:40 +0000

#3: Kelly, Double-Check That Clive Davis Isn’t On Your Guest List By Accident We all know exactly what that guy’s said about you. He’s supposed to be on your team, then thinks his stuff doesn’t stink and stabs you in the back. First, he says I burst into ‘hysterical sobbing’ in his office when he [...]

Rob Banks — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:31:52 +0000

#1: Kelly, Reconsider Inviting Blake Shelton Blake is not just a guest at Kelly’s wedding. No, no he’s far more. Blake’s a very, very good friend of Kelly, so he’s not only a guest but the wedding singer and officiant. Blake Shelton…officiating a wedding. Kelly, There’s a nine out of 10 chance that Shelton will [...]

Rob Banks — Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:30:07 +0000

Kelly Clarkson took to Twitter last year to announce her engagement to boyfriend Brandon Blackstock. We knew the wedding was going to be this fall, and she later told Ellen DeGeneres that the couple might elope since she’s not that big on wedding planning, and she’s terrified of walking down the aisle. But apparently she’s [...]
