Taste Of Country 2013

#19: “I'm Going Home”

Darius Rucker sings with more energy than a nuclear power plant, but his new album 'True Believers' is safer than solar power. He captures the spirit of his live show -- one of the best in the business -- on each of the 12 tracks, but one yearns for for something unique and unexpected.

#20: “It Won't Be Like This For Long” "It Won't Be Like This For Long" was only Darius Rucker's second single into country music -- and a second #1 hit for him. A crowd favorite for sure -- you know he's going to play it at our Taste Of Country come June 14! To check o...

Three weeks from today is the big day! The Taste Of Country is just around the corner, and there's only a few tickets left!

#22: "True Believers" It's the title track off Darius Rucker's brand-new album that just came out this week, and you can bet your bottom dollar we're going to hear it at this year's Taste Of Country.

Just over three weeks until the biggest one-day concert event in Buffalo! The WYRK Taste Of Country is at Coca-Cola Field on Friday, June 14.

It proved an interesting weekend for higher education in country music circles last weekend, as country stars Willie Nelson and Darius Rucker both became honorary doctors of music.

I am a massive Hootie & the Blowfish fan -- they put out two of my all-time favorite albums, 'Fairweather Johnson' and 'Cracked Rear View' (which can be played 13 times all the way through before you make it to Myrtle Beach from Buffalo -- I've tried). So when I heard they were disassembling, I was ticked. With that bad news, who knew that a great new career -- Hootie frontman Darius Rucker's

The show is less than a month away! The WYRK Taste of Country is approaching fast, and I spoke with Jana Kramer about her appearance here in Buffalo on June 14!
