Darius Rucker shares a tour of his Tennessee home on Instagram | Local News

What kind of things would a music superstar like Darius Rucker fill his home with? The SC native and lifelong Gamecock gave fans a behind-the-scenes look at his home in Nashville, Tennessee on Instagram.

A mural of his mother, a golf simulator and the robe of a legendary South Carolina wrestler are just a few of the items Rucker used to decorate his modern farmhouse, according to a Sept. 19 Instagram post.

“Things in my house that just… make sense,” Rucker posted on his page. In the video, which was set to an upbeat Italian tune, Rucker could be seen grinning as he showed off his wares.

The adult playground seems to fit well with Rucker's rockin', sports-loving lifestyle. He shows fans his backyard putting green, his wine cellar, his home recording studio, a variety of industry awards and two dogs.

But the highlights touch on Rucker's lifelong love and reverence for South Carolina and Charleston, where he was born in 1966.

One such detail is a watercolor-inspired mural by his mother that stretches across a clean white wall and is bathed in sunlight. A row of houses emerges from the woman's profile. Carolyn Rucker raised Rucker and his siblings in Charleston, but died before he entered the music scene with Hootie & The Blowfish in the 1990s.

Another fun item Rucker shared was a white, sequined robe worn by Ric “Nature Boy” Flair, a legendary wrestler with strong ties to the Palmetto State. Flair and Rucker have had a long relationship, according to Nature Boy's Instagram account. According to a previous report by The Post and Courier, the rock and country singer spent $35,000 to purchase the memorabilia at a charity event.

Rucker often gives fans a glimpse into his life on his Instagram account, which features photos of him backstage with the rest of Hootie & The Blowfish as they cross the country on their “Summer Camp with Trucks” tour travel, or his predictions for the NFL season.

And Rucker is no stranger to touring his home, either. He let Architectural Digest into his home just four months after moving in in 2020. His tour offered insight into the time he spends in the house with his children and showed hallways decorated for Christmas.
