Darius Rucker is getting stealthy for a special episode of CBS’ Undercover Boss on May 12.

The country star will travel to Austin, Texas, on an undercover journey to discover the next great musical acts. During his time incognito, Darius runs an open mic night, works as a roadie and visits Austin’s famous Sixth Street in search of standout street performers.

Undercover Boss usually features corporate execs who disguise themselves and secretly take low-level jobs within their companies to find out how things really work. Darius’ upcoming episode is one of two that features a celebrity boss. Chef and restaurateur Marcus Samuelsson will appear on an episode on May 19.

Tune in to CBS on May 12 at 8 p.m. ET to catch Darius in action.
