Darius Rucker and Brad Paisley took the stage on Tuesday (March 14) at Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville.
The duo performed the iconic song “Purple Rain” by Prince and they brought the house down in front of one of the most seasoned crowds possible.
Initially Rucker and Paisley were slated to team with Vince Gill as a part of UMG’s annual luncheon performance showcase at the Ryman during the 2023 Country Radio Seminar.
This annual event consists of bringing artists, journalists, radio programmers, and other country music insiders together.
Along with that country artist showcase their performances that set the agenda for the rest of the year in country music.
Rucker’s passionate lead vocal and Paisley’s incendiary lead guitar solo is what really hooked the crowd.
