Darius Rucker's annual Darius and Friends benefit for St. Jude's Children Hospital is going virtual this year. MusicRow reports that Rucker will be joined by the likes of Clint Black and Tracy Lawrence on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry for this year's event, which will be available as a pay-per-view livestream on Thursday, July 30, starting at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT.

 

Fans can check it out at LiveXLive.com/Darius or on the LiveXLive app. “Even though we can’t all get together for a normal concert right now, it’s important that we continue to support St. Jude and the amazing work that they do,” Rucker says in a statement.

“I hope we can bring a fun night of music to everyone watching from home while also raising money for this important cause.”

 

Tickets go on sale July 10 and start at $15, with VIP options priced at $50-$100. Now in its 11th year, Rucker's annual fundraiser has bought in more than $2 million for St. Jude's to date.
