WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION ABOUT HOOTIE

On Friday, August 18th Hootie & The Blowfish performed their forth SOLD OUT Homegrown Concert at the Family Circle Magazine Stadium on Daniel Island. Some Hootie fans enjoyed a Pre Hootie Bash at the Family Circle Club House to help support the Daniel Island PTA. For $20 per person concert goers could relax by listening to the DVD of the LIVE IN CHARLESTON - The Homegrown Concert Event while enjoying great food by Sticky Fingers Catering with all the beer and wine you could drink before the concert. Also a BIG plus to the concert was that you could get your ID checked so you didn't have to stand in the long lines.
The people behind the Pre Hootie Bash were:
Kevin Brookes with Wachovia Bob Moran with Family Circle Mike Morris with Commonwealth Chris Carson with Carson homes Mike Baker with RBC Centura Jason Kopplin with Rick Hendrick BMW Wilson Brookes with Cabinet Concepts Inc Phillip Wolcott with Prime South Group
Gates were opened at 6:30 p.m. The concert started at 8 p.m. with the group Gin Blossoms.

The Hootie and the Blowfish Foundation

The Hootie and the Blowfish Foundation was created in 2000 to help improve education in South Carolina and support school music programs nationwide. The Foundation's goal is to help make a difference in the lives of young children by helping them realize their potential. In 2003 the South Carolina-based quartet created an annual musical event in South Carolina aimed at helping school aged children. They asked concertgoers to help fill up a School Bus with everyday school supplies and enjoy a great concert. The year 2006 the concerts school supply fund raisers were held in other Carolina Counties.

Hootie & The Blowfish Band Members: Mark Bryan (lead guitar), Dean Felber (bass guitar), Darius Rucker (lead vocals), and Jim "Soni" Sonefeld (drums)

In photography it's said lighting is everything... My singing friends tell me the sound man can make or break you. It takes someone who knows what they are doing to make the best sound and look perfect. So hear's praise to Draughon Brothers from North Carolina who came down and spent 3 days working on making things perfect for this event!
