0:00It's April 27. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI, your daily dose of celebrity buzz. Hoody and the blowfish finally hit the stage coach stage for their debut on Sunday evening, lighting up the desert with straight nostalgia. Frontman Darius Rucker opened with their 1994 hit, Hannah Jane, from the massive debut album Cracked Rearview, then rolled through. Classics like, Letter Cry, Hold My Hand, and Time. The set peaked when they mashed, only want to be with you with cool and the gangs get down on it, getting the whole crowd dancing hard. They also covered old crow medicine shows, Wagon Wheel, a big solo smash for Rucker and Led Zeppelin's, hey hey what can I do? Fans went wild, especially when Rucker brought out public enemies Chuck D and Flavor Flav, for he got game and fight the power blending 70's soul, with 90's hip-hop vibes. The thousands there jumped and jammed, like it was 1994 all over again.

1:00Rucker is no stranger to stage coach, he's played solo three times before, riding high as a country star after Hoody's huge run. He says today's country shares real kinship with 90's alt rock, both fueled by guitar riffs in that raw angst pop music lost. With rock acts like third eye blind, journey, and counting crows also on the bill, it all feels right for the festival's mood. Stage coach keeps proving music genres can cross lines and still hit that sweet spot.
