The summer concert season at the Motto Mortgage Preferred and RE/MAX One Waterside Pavilion at Calvert Marine Museum is set to bring an exciting lineup of performances, with award-winning country artists Jordan Davis and Darius Rucker headlining the 2025 Waterside Music Series.

Jordan Davis will perform on Saturday, May 24, 2025. With his sophomore album Bluebird Days producing four consecutive number-one hits, Davis has become one of country music’s most dominant artists. His chart-topping singles “Buy Dirt” and “Next Thing You Know” have earned multi-platinum certifications, and his recent television appearances on Good Morning America and The Tonight Show have cemented his status as a rising star. Fans can also expect to hear his newest single, “I Ain’t Sayin’,” from his upcoming album.

Opening for Davis is Dasha, a 24-year-old singer-songwriter whose platinum-certified hit “Austin” catapulted her to success. Dasha had a breakout year in 2024, releasing her debut album What Happens Now? and winning the People’s Choice Country Award for Female Artist of the Year.

Darius Rucker will take the stage on Thursday, July 10, 2025. Best known as the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish, Rucker helped sell over 25 million albums worldwide. The band’s debut album, Cracked Rear View, remains one of the top 10 best-selling studio albums of all time with 22-times platinum certification. Since transitioning to country music in 2008, Rucker has released four number-one albums and ten chart-topping singles, including the Diamond-certified hit “Wagon Wheel,” one of the top five best-selling country songs in history. In addition to his music career, Rucker is a New York Times best-selling author and a dedicated philanthropist, raising millions for causes such as the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children’s Hospital, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and junior golf programs through the Hootie & the Blowfish Foundation.
