One of the reasons Rascal Flatts has sold millions over the decade is their deft blend of rock and pop in anthematic crossover hits, from the cover of "Life Is a Highway" to the heart-tugging ballad "What Hurts the Most." Fans will find those familiar touches on their latest record, including their first single, the soaring top 10 Billboard country hit "Here Comes Goodbye." But bassist and songwriter Jay DeMarcus says Flatts fans may be surprised by what else they hear on the trio's latest... Read Full Story

Born in Tallahassee and raised in Wakulla Station, Fla., Jason Jones is a believer. He believes life and love don’t have to be as complicated as we make them and that life is what you make it. Those philosophies are reflected in Jason’s music as well. It was his father who gave Jason his first guitar, a Christmas gift at age 13. “I wanted a big, rockin’, electric guitar, but I got a short, student, acoustic guitar,” he remembers with a laugh. “My dad didn’t think I’d stick with it.” The...

My sweet Joe Don Rooney of Rascal Flatts almost left the Kelseyville, CA show in an ambulance on Sunday night after an overly excited and apparently aggressive fan dragged him into the audience.
Sounds like Joe Don got just a little too close to fans at the front of the stage and was dragged off by a female fan. A bystander says, “He suddenly just disappeared. He was high-fiving fans at the front and one just yanked him offstage.”
Fortunately, he was not injured and completed the... Read Full Story

Looks like Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts may be in need of a school tutor. Gary has a nine year old daughter, Brittany, who just started back to school. And so far, Gary hasn’t been much help when it comes to homework.
“I’m telling you right now, someone needs to start ‘Who’s Smarter than a Third Grader?’ I’m serious, it’s tough! I’ve had to phone a friend and I’ve had to use all of my nine- year-old’s life lines. I’m like, ‘Hold on, Daddy needs them!’”
How funny! No one said you had... Read Full Story

I am exhaling a big sigh of relief this morning. In the five years that I have been a FAM Club member of Rascal Flatts I have been able to highly praise them on their VIP tickets and meet and greets for their members. We have always received the best seats in the house and compared to a lot of other artists their meet and greet lists are pretty long.
Today, the FAM Club was up in arms with rumors flying that both VIP tickets and meet & greets were being phased out. With the closing... Read Full Story
