Review: DARIUS RUCKER'S SONGS OF SUMMER TOUR at Acrisure Amphitheater
by Brian Hilbrand - Jun 29, 2026


I was fortunate enough to see and work a show when Darius first reintroduced himself as a Country artist at a small acoustic concert. Darius Rucker played the 107 MUS The Moose (WMUS) concert in Muskegon, Michigan, in 2013 shortly after he transitioned to country music, acting as a headliner for the radio station's acoustic summer concert series at Heritage Landing.  So I was so excited to get to come out to see him again, and the entertainment factor only grew, and I even got to see some of the songs that he was introducing back on that stage!   “First Time,” “Home Grown”, “Come Back Song”, “ All Night Long”,  and “Alright”.

by Ilana Lucas - Jun 17, 2026
