NEWS AND NOTES: Darius, Chris, Luke, Lady A, Dierks

Darius Rucker returns to CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman Thursday night (April 30th) to perform “Hold My Hand” with his old band Hootie & the Blowfish. The iconic talk show host essentially helped launch the band into the stratosphere by having them on the show to perform that hit song from their multi-platinum album, Cracked Rear View.

Chris Stapleton will perform on ABC’s The View on Tuesday (May 5th), the day his solo debut album, Traveller, is released.

Luke Bryan and Lady Antebellum’s Dave Haywood have recipes featured in the new cookbook, A Southern Gentleman’s Kitchen authored by pal Matt Moore, who is a chef, musician and author living in Tennessee.

Dierks Bentley is set to headline the 11th Annual Stars for the Second Harvest show June 9th at the Ryman Auditorium. Songwriter Craig Wiseman will host the event, which will also feature performances from Nashville stars Charles Esten (“Deacon”) and Lennon and Maisy Stella (“Maddie” and “Daphne Conrad”).
