Three-time GRAMMY Award-winning artist Darius Rucker is set to take the stage at Analog at the Hutton Hotel for an unforgettable evening of music on Wednesday, Oct. 4, just days ahead of the highly anticipated release of his forthcoming studio album Carolyn’s Boy, his first solo project in six years. The songwriter-style event will be recorded as part of the “Recorded Live at Analog” series supported by Heaven’s Door and debuting on PBS in early 2024.

Praised by Oxford American as “a master at choreographing his audience’s mood, bringing the energy up, then making things quiet, then up again…[Rucker] is a genuinely inspired performer in this way, unafraid to bring not only muscle and sweat but also well-timed vulnerability, a crack in the mask.” That masterful performance will be on full display as Rucker and a stripped-back band perform both his chart-topping hits and brand-new music for the intimate room.

“Recorded Live at Analog” is produced by iMaggination, Inc. and also features the recently-recorded “Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska: Celebrating A Rough Masterpiece” – which included performances by Emmylou Harris, Noah Kahan, Lyle Lovett, The Lumineers, Lucinda Williams and surprise guest Eric Church – with additional shows in the series to be announced soon.

“I’m so excited to finally share this album with our fans after working on it for so long,” reflects Rucker. “It’s a really joyful album that celebrates the most joyful woman; the woman who was always in my corner and is the reason I am where I am today. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate than this special show right here in Nashville.”

Named for his late mother as an “homage to the greatest woman I’ve ever known,” Carolyn’s Boy features Rucker as a cowriter on 11 of its 14 tracks, with recent release “Southern Comfort” joining current single “Fires Don’t Start Themselves” as well as No. 1 hit “Beers And Sunshine,” recent release “Have A Good Time,” his take on Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up” from Marvel’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and Chapel Hart collaboration “Ol’ Church Hymn” in previewing the forthcoming project.

In addition, Rucker has been sharing full-band performances of the new music with fans across the country all summer on his Starting Fires Tour – which wraps its stateside run on Oct. 14 at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater – and is now gearing up to take his wide-ranging catalog of hits across the pond with a recently announced run of European dates in early 2024.

He will also celebrate the album’s release during the second year of his personally curated Riverfront Revival Music Festival set for Oct. 7-8 in his hometown of Charleston, S.C. In addition to Rucker himself, fans will be treated to performances by Turnpike Troubadours, Lainey Wilson, Band of Horses and more.
