The hour-long show will air in October and feature property and gardens of some big names in rock and roll. Other artists appearing in the special include Kenny Loggins, Joe Cocker, and Mark Hoppus of Blink 182.
With the taping of the TV special completed, Rucker and his bandmates can concentrate on their upcoming North American tour. Rucker said he's excited to get out on the road because he knows it's the only way to get people to hear the group's music and message. "You know, we really believe that if people hear it, you know, they're gonna like it and go buy it," Rucker said. "You know, you just got to get it out there and get it to them. And that's, you know, touring and stuff like that."
