It’s been five years since Hootie & the Blowfish was on tour – and about 11 years before that – so you don’t want to miss the Summer Camp with Trucks Tour featuring special guests Collective Soul and Edwin McCain. Ever wonder how artists name their tours? In this case, it was inspired by the band’s debut album Cracked Rear View, the 19th best-selling of all time in the U.S.

Lead guitarist Mark Bryan recalled: “Basically overnight, our lives changed when Cracked Rear View did what it did – and yet as we quickly moved from vans and college bars to tour busses and arenas, not much else changed with how we approached making music and sharing it with our fans. Edwin McCain told someone at the time that touring with us felt like summer camp with trucks… and that’s exactly how we want [this tour] to feel, too. We can’t wait for you to join us.”

The tour is making at stop at Oak Mountain Amphitheatre near Birmingham.
