Hootie & the Blowfish: Mark Bryan
built 621 days ago
Hootie & the Blowfish formed in 1985. The quartet met when they were freshmen at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. Mark Bryan heard Darius Rucker singing in the showers of the dorm they shared and was impressed by his vocal ability. Bryan and Rucker began playing cover tunes as The Wolf Brothers; eventually Bryan and Rucker hooked up with Felber, a former high school band mate of Bryan's, and Jim "Soni" Sonefeld as Hootie & The Blowfish.[1]

Darius Rucker, Mark Bryan, Dean Felber and Jim Sonefeld - the four members of Hootie & the Blowfish and all alumni of the University of South Carolina, have been members at Bulls Bay in Awendaw, S.C., since it opened in 2002. In 2005 they hosted the inaugural tournament, kicking it off with a concert that has been part of the opening ceremonies ever since. But that's not the only thing that rocks.
