Four short years ago, the guys in Rascal Flatts were three unknowns, hoping their debut single would find a home in a crowded and uncertain country marketplace. Today, they are among the genre's biggest stars, household names with sales of nearly four million CDs to their credit and their second headlining tour underway.
Just two albums into their remarkable career, Jay DeMarcus, Gary Levox, and Joe Don Rooney have enjoyed one of the fastest and most spectacular rises in recent memory. They were named 2003 Vocal Group of the Year by the CMA, the ACM, and ASCAP, received the ACM's "Song of the Year" award for "I'm Movin' On," and garnered the fan-voted CMT Flameworthy Favorite Group or Duo Award for their "These Days" video. The CMT Most Wanted Live Tour 2003 featuring Rascal Flatts played to sold-out crowds in every city it hit. The trio's second CD, “Melt,” which went platinum just five weeks after its release, has thus far produced four smash singles--"These Days," "Love You Out Loud," "I Melt" and "Mayberry," which has become their fastest-climbing single ever. They were the subject of a 2003 CMT Live Concert Special with "Rascal Flatts: Melt on the Beach," and their Rascal Flatts Live DVD, released just last September, is already double-platinum.
Perhaps the most telling display of the speed of their rise is that they have moved in two years from being part of the "New Faces" show at Nashville's biggest industry event, the Country Radio Seminar, to headlining its "Super Faces" show, reserved for the industry's heaviest hitters.
"The terrorist invasion of September 11th brought a renewed awaking to American citizens the importance of banding together as a nation. It gives us great pleasure to be able to work with a wonderful organization like the American Red Cross because of what it provides to this country-and around the world." -- Rascal Flatts
