Hootie & the Blowfish
November 19, 2018{Spring 1986} Ever wonder where the band really got their name? Well, when Darius was in school, he had a friend with big eyes like an owl and he called him Hootie, and another friend with big cheeks and he called him Blowfish. So, one day they walked into a party together and someone said “Look it’s Hootie and the Blowfish” and someone else said “Hey, that sounds like a great name for a band.”⠀
