RASCAL FLATTS' 20TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR PUNCTUATED WITH FINAL TOUR Beloved Superstar Vocal Group Will Hit the Road for RASCAL FLATTS FAREWELL: LIFE IS A HIGHWAY TOUR MEDIA ONLY – https://app.box.com/s/mgczemj4jfpxiqiu02lf6cmwdwzc54cf Courtesy of Big Machine Records   NASHVILLE, TN (January 7, 2020) – An unforgettable chapter in Country music history will be celebrated this year, as RASCAL FLATTS – the most awarded group of the genre’s last decade – is hitting the road for the RASCAL FLATTS FAREWELL: LIFE IS A HIGHWAY TOUR. With countless milestones behind them and their legacy firmly established as some of Country’s brightest ambassadors, Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney visited CBS This Morning today to exclusively announce that they will mark their 20th anniversary this year with a triumphant farewell tour. "When we started out 20 years ago, we could not imagine all of the people, places and gifts we would encounter,” said Gary LeVox. "The greatest feeling ever, is being told that our music has been the soundtrack to their lives. What greater gift can an artist receive than to be told 'I got married to “Bless The Broken Road,”’ or 'We played “My Wish" at my graduation.’ That '“What Hurts The Most" is the song that made me love country music for the first time,' or '“I’m Movin' On" helped me get sober’ or even that ‘“Changed" made me call my family again after not talking to them for years.' That’s why we create music and the reason we can’t wait to celebrate this incredible 20 year journey all year, with our fans who we love dearly. I don’t know what God has in store for the future, but I am excited to see what he has planned!” “We’re really looking forward to getting to spend this entire year loving on our fans, and thanking them for allowing us to have the most amazing career over the last 20 years,” shared Jay DeMarcus. "While it is of course bittersweet, it is so important to us to celebrate what our music has meant to their lives, as well as what the fans have meant to us. There is no sadness here, just new chapters, new journeys, and new beginnings. Rascal Flatts’ music will live on forever, because of our fans, and this year is all about them!” “Dreams do come true...and we are three walking examples of this truth,” said Joe Don Rooney. "I’m most proud of the fact that we’ve pursued our dreams together and with courage, hard-work and dedication we’ve been able to cultivate our dreams into reality, it’s simply incredible! There’s no doubt we have been blessed way beyond belief and we can’t wait to spend the rest of 2020 expressing our love and appreciation to all of our devoted fans, music industry friends and our families for believing in us and playing a major role in our path to here. And, I personally can’t wait to shine a light on my brothers Jay and Gary this year, and make another mountain of new memories with them.” Kicking off on June 11 in Indianapolis, the tour will take Rascal Flatts from coast to coast, culminating in a bittersweet send off.  Along the way, the trio and their fans will reflect on a beloved catalogue of hits including “Bless The Broken Road,” “My Wish,” “What Hurts The Most” – always soulful, engaging and delivered with a positive, universal message – as well as a string of success that places Rascal Flatts among the modern musical elite. Tickets will be available first as part of the Live Nation Country Megaticket and more information will become available at RascalFlatts.com in the coming weeks.

UNRELEASED RASCAL FLATTS SONG TO BE FEATURED IN THE FILM ‘HEAVEN IS FOR REAL’

_{“Compass” To Be Included On Country Supergroups’s Forthcoming Studio Album This May}

 

 

Nashville, TN (March 4, 2014) – A new Rascal Flatts song entitled “Compass” will be featured in the upcoming Sony Pictures film “Heaven Is For Real,” which opens nationwide on Wednesday, April 16, 2014.  The song will also be included on Flatts’ forthcoming Big Machine Records album, REWIND, available May 13, 2014. The album is now available for pre-order at www.RascalFlatts.com

Based on the #1 New York Times best-selling book of the same name, “Heaven Is For Real” brings to the screen the true story of a small-town father who must find the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.

The film stars Academy Award® nominee and Emmy® award winning actor Greg Kinnear as Todd Burpo and co-stars Kelly Reilly as Sonja Burpo, the real-life couple whose son Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) claims to have visited Heaven during a near death experience.  Colton recounts the details of his amazing journey with childlike innocence and speaks matter-of-factly about things that happened before his birth ... things he couldn't possibly know.  Todd and his family are then challenged to examine the meaning from this remarkable event.

As the best-selling Country vocal group of the past decade, Rascal Flatts (Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney) have sold over 22.5 million albums and over 28 million digital downloads since their musical debut in 2000.

Rascal Flatts have earned over 40 trophies from the ACAs, ACMs, AMAs, CMAs, People's Choice Awards and more. In 2012, they reached a new career milestone with over 7 million concert tickets sold and will hit the road again this Spring with the REWIND Tour 2014. In anticipation of their next Big Machine Records album this summer, fans will get a taste of the fresh sound and rewind back in time with some previously released tunes on March 4 with the release of a Walmart exclusive EP. Their new single “Rewind” is currently rising in the Top 15.
 RASCAL FLATTS will be at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre St Louis on May 15.

Rascal Flatts to Premiere New Music Video for “Changed” on Good Morning America Tomorrow 

Video for the Inspiring Song Stars Charles (Chip) Esten from ABC’s “NASHVILLE

NASHVILLE, TN  (April 2, 2013) —Country supergroup Rascal Flatts announced today that Good Morning America (ABC) will premiere a portion of the new music video for their current critically-acclaimed single, “Changed” on Wednesday, April 3.  The video will air during the 8 AM hour on the No. 1 rated morning show in America.  The video features actor Charles (Chip) Esten, who also stars as “Deacon Claybourne” on ABC’s hit series “NASHVILLE.”

“Changed” is the title track and third single from Flatts’ latest Big Machine Records studio album.  The song is currently Top 20 and rising on the Country radio charts.

In regards to “Changed,” the New York Times said, “it’s a king-size song about modesty and rebaptism.” USA Today expressed “LeVox sings baptism song Changed with charismatic fervor.” And the Associated Press wrote “The title song strips the band's sound down to an earthier core, displaying how rich their harmonies have become.”

“This video treatment best captures the emotion and depth of the lyrics. It tells the story of a man on the brink of despair, who is ultimately saved by the ones around him, who love him the most. In that, he finds the strength to forgive himself,” said Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus.

Rascal Flatts are fans of “NASHVILLE” and that’s where they got the idea to have Esten star in the video.

“Chip is the consummate pro. He believed in the song and the message and wanted to be a part of it. We thought it would be a long shot to get him now that he's on the huge television show "Nashville" but in the end, after we black-mailed him, he agreed to do it. Seriously, it is an honor to have Chip, and all that he brings to the table attached to this very important video,” said DeMarcus.

The video will be available for viewing in its entirety on ABCNews.com after it appears on GMA. Beginning at 12 PM Eastern on April 3, the video will be available at Vevo.com. The video can be viewed everywhere on April 4.

"NASHVILLE" airs Wednesdays, 10:00-11:00 p.m. ET on the ABC Television Network. Watch full episodes via http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/nashville.

RASCAL FLATTS PREP LAUNCH OF NEW “COME WAKE ME UP” VIDEO WITH BEHIND-THE-SCENES SPECIAL – AVAILABLE NOW ONLY AT CMT.COM 

“Come Wake Me Up” to World Premiere on CMT on Friday, August 10

NASHVILLE, TN (August 6, 2012) – Country supergroup Rascal Flatts give fans a preview of their new music video for their current single “Come Wake Me Up,” which is on the cusp of Top 20, with a behind-the-scenes special, which launched today at CMT.com.  The full video will make its world premiere Friday, August 10 on CMT at 6 a.m. ET, and run at the top of every hour during music hours.
 

Filmed in Nashville, the video includes a cameo by Joe Don Rooney’s wife, Tiffany Fallon.  Adding to the intensity of the dramatic scenes, two-time female street freestyle world champion Dena Sodano steps in Fallon’s role as the motorcycle stunt driver.  “Come Wake Me Up” was directed by Shaun Silva, who explains the idea behind the video as the fate of two people from entirely different worlds.

“So I had this story unfolding, this moment of – here’s a girl who really is just from a different world than what he’s from,” said Silva.  “Joe Don’s character is doing all the things anybody would want to do for someone they love, but it threatens her identity until one night after an argument, she removes a necklace like breaking free from his lavish grasp.  Her decision to leave, and his to chase after her, only pushes her further towards her foreshadowed fate.”

Rascal Flatts will be featured on CMT all week long as some of their biggest hit videos return to the channel, and will be introduced by the band themselves.  The video premiere will be promoted across all of CMT’s digital platforms including CMT.com, CMT Mobile and nearly 3 million social media fans.
