What an exciting night at the Country Music Awards!

Best known for ” Hootie and the Blowfish”, Singer Darius Rucker made history tonight!!

Darius became the first black singer to win CMA’s New Artist Of The Year award. He joins Charlie Pride as one of the only African-Americans to win a major association award.

“First of all, to the fans, thank y’all for accepting me,” Rucker said. “And I think most importantly, to country radio, you took a chance on a pop singer from Charleston, S.C. Thank you so much for that!”

So cool..What a night!

Congratulations Darius - History in the making!
