Family Circle Cup Stadium is set to come alive once again on August 13. Perennial hometown favorite Darius Rucker returns during a short break from his summer tour with Rascal Flatts. This will mark the eighth year for the “Homegrown Concert Series”.

The series started in 2003 when Rucker and his Hootie and The Blowfish band mates saw a need that wasn’t being addressed…underfunded school systems. The band put together The Homegrown Tour and asked fans to bring school supplies to be donated to local school systems.

The idea took off and the band has toured each year to benefit the education of young children. To date the tour has raised over $150,000; the equivalent of 30 busloads of supplies.

Jamey Johnson – “My Way To You”

After an outstanding, independently-recorded effort that ushered him in as country music’s Outlaw Savior (garnering an unprecedented level of critical acclaim from essentially every corner of the music universe), Jamey Johnson returns with “My Way To You,” the first single from his upcoming fourth album.

He does not disappoint. The song opens to the sound of an eerie steel guitar, joined in short order by a plucked acoustic as the steel swells, so full of emotion it must spill over into the foreground. Then Johnson’s voice enters, a hushed and contemplative baritone perfectly underlined by a sparse and haunting piano.

By the time this powerful track reaches its climax, Johnson (having started the song with little more than a whisper) is soaring, his emotional connection to these words unmistakable and his outpouring of passion irresistible.
