Darius Rucker just released his new single – the title track of his latest record, Southern Style. He was born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina and still lives there, raising his own children with his foundation of Southern values and charm.
“When you live in Charleston you don’t have to do much but raise ’em, you know what I mean? I’m trying to teach them the things that I was taught as a kid, you know. Be respectful say ‘Yes, Ma’am, ‘Yes, Sir,’ be courteous to others and in Charleston, we have this… everybody’s really nice,” says Darius. “We say ‘Hey’ to everybody all the time and stuff like that, and that’s just the kind of things I try to teach them and stuff that’s what my mom taught me growing up. And I try to let ’em be happy and healthy kids, but they’re definitely southern kids.”
He’ll be back to host the 6th annual Darius & Friends benefit at Nashville’s Wildhorse Saloon for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital on June 8th.
