Rucker’s guests on most of the shows will be Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, and Drew Green filling the support slot on two nights. Rucker is completing his long-awaited seventh studio album Carolyn’s Boy, and is due to unveil another track from it soon to follow the already-shared “Same Beer Different Problem” and “Ol’ Church Hymn,” the latter featuring Mississippi vocal group Chapel Hart. He also recently released his version of Rihanna’s “Lift Me Up.”
In a busy period, Rucker will also be front and center in his “other” incarnation as with Hootie & the Blowfish, who will headline the second annual HootieFest: The Big Splash at Moon Palace Cancún. The star-laden event takes places from April 26-29 and will feature oceanfront performances by Goo Goo Dolls, Barenaked Ladies, Collective Soul, Gin Blossoms, Everclear, Edwin McCain, Lit, and Cowboy Mouth. Hootie & the Blowfish will also play a special sunset show.
