In the band Hootie & the Blowfish, who is the Blowfish?
The '90s were an insane time in popular music.
Let's take May of 1994 as an example. Among the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 were the following artists: Ace of Base, Prince, Crash Test Dummies, Richard Marx, and Mariah Carey.
That kind of broad mix of genre and style allowed bands like Hootie & the Blowfish to somehow rise to prominence and become huge, stadium-filling groups.

The answer is: No one. This soft rock band not only lacks a blowfish, it has no Hootie! Contrary to popular belief, the lead singer is named Darius Rucker — and he's never gone by Hootie.“Hootie” and “the Blowfish” are nicknames of his college buddies, who were never part of the band.Hootie & the Blowfish formed in Columbia, South Carolina in 1986. They released the hit album Cracked Rear View in 1994.Source
