USO Tour
November 19, 2018{December, 1996} The United Service Organization puts together USO Tours as a way to support American soldiers by keeping them connected to home through entertainment, especially during the holiday season. Hootie & the Blowfish were honored when the USO invited them on the 1996 tour to entertain troops protecting us around the world. They enjoyed playing for and meeting the soldiers so much and were excited when they had the opportunity to participate in another tour in 1998!
“It was so fulfilling to do a show for people who don’t see rock shows and for the people who are serving us. It’s not about making money or selling records; it’s about giving something back to people who are halfway across the world without their families.” –Soni
