Backstage at the Tent

It’s no secret that Darius Rucker is pretty popular. He was popular as Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish and he’s made a huge splash in the past few years as Darius Rucker, the country singer. (I still remember seeing him for the first time in a cowboy hat while watching the CMAs, it was a bit surreal!)

He performed on Letterman just a few weeks ago, his latest album is still #12 on Billboard’s Country Album chart, and he is the center piece artist in today’s CMT’s “You Heard It” newsletter! You Heard It was specfically highlighting the video to Darius’ single “This.” Check it out, they have quite a few vidoes on Darius’ page!

French Memories, an amazing little cafe and pastry shop in Cohasset not too far from the Music Circus, got a great write up in the Boston Globe on Sunday.

Joan Wilder does an awesome job of making your mouth water as she describes the shop’s “light as air” croissants (in a variety of flavors), baked (not fried) doughnuts, and crazy array of pastries, plus their great sandwiches. Check out the review then head down to French Memories, because it’s going to make you hungry!

French Memories is located at 64 South Main St in Cohasset. They’re open 7am-6pm Monday through Saturday and 7 am – 5 pm Sunday.
