Darius Rucker will headline the ANNIKA & Friends at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort evening concert on Sunday, May 13 beginning at 7 p.m. at Grand Boulevard in Destin, Florida.

Rucker is riding high with the release of his sophomore country album, Charleston, SC 1966, on Capitol Records Nashville. His chart-topping 2008 release, Learn To Live, produced three consecutive No. 1 singles and Top 5 smash, “History In The Making.” Rucker’s success in the country music format was recently recognized at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards when he received the Top New Artist title and again with ACM, Teen Choice, and AMA Award nominations. Charleston, SC 1966—a title which pays tribute to one of Rucker’s biggest influences, Radney Foster—includes the multiple-week #1 hit single, “Come Back Song,” and his current Top 10 single, “This.”
