It’s been 15 years since Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Jim Sonefeld, and Dean Felber last released an album and a whopping 25 since the band’s debut, Cracked Rear View. The band confirmed the news via its official Twitter account. 

The 90’s and early 2000’s group announced their upcoming titled Imperfect Circle whilst on their 44-date Group Therapy reunion tour. The band’s first tour in more than a decade also marked their highest-ever attendance figures per Billboard. 

The album is set to be released via Universal’s Capitol Nashville imprint. The album is due out on November 1, but if you simply can’t wait, you can get early access to the first track off the record, titled “Rollin” on the band’s official website.

According to the press release, Hootie & the Blowfish will embark on a tour in 2019, their first in more than a decade, while also presenting a new studio album.

“We’ve been talking about doing this for a while and the 25th anniversary of Cracked Rear View just seemed like a good time to make another record and go out on tour and play for all the folks that used to come out and see us all the time. We haven’t been on tour in 12 years, so it just seemed like the right time to do it,” said singer Darius Rucker.

According to Rucker, despite the long hiatus, the new material will have that Hootie & the Blowfish signature sound.

“We’ve been writing a bunch of different stuff, and I’m really happy with the songs,” – he added. “No matter what we do we’re a rock and roll band, so it’s going to sound like Hootie & the Blowfish.”

The band’s new tour, titled Group Therapy Tour and featuring Canadian rockers Barenaked Ladies, will kick off May 30th, 2019 in Virginia Beach and see them playing in more than 40 U.S. cities before wrapping up the journey on September 13th in Columbia, South Carolina.

Before the hiatus, Hootie & the Blowfish released five studio albums, most of which ended up having strong commercial success. The band managed to sell over 21 million records in the United States while also being fairly popular in Canada. They also have two Grammy Awards, Best New Artist and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for the song “Let Her Cry,” both won in 1996.
