About Rascal Flatts
The origins of Rascal Flatts began with co-founders, Gary LeVox and
Jay DeMarcus, second cousins and close friends from Columbus, Ohio. "I
grew up in a very musical family," says Jay DeMarcus about his musical
roots. "My earliest memories are of us sitting around the living room
on Friday and Saturday nights and everybody coming around to the house
and picking up whatever instrument was lying around and playing music
all night long." "My story is almost the same as Jay's," says Gary
LeVox. "I have a very musical family, both my dad and my mom. Our
mothers were cousins but close as sisters. We spent a lot of weekends
at Jay's house as kids, doing kid stuff and making music."
Growing up in Picher, Oklahoma, Joe Don Rooney's musical influences
first came from his brother and sisters. "They were all into music
when I was growing up so I went through a lot of different musical
genres," Joe Don explains. But he got his mainstream country
experience in Grove, OK. "There was a show called the Grand Lake Opry,
believe it or not. Kind of like the Grand Ole Opry. It was really
cool. When I was nineteen I worked there and every month we'd have a
Grand Ole Opry star from Nashville, like Porter Wagoner, Connie Smith
and Merle Haggard, come down to sing and perform."
In 1992, Rascal Flatts? Jay DeMarcus packed up his music skills
(vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards, mandolin and more), and was the
first to move to Nashville. In 1997, Jay finally convinced his cousin
Gary LeVox to give up his day-job back in Columbus and bring his
incredible voice to Nashville. "When Gary moved to Nashville, we
started writing together," says Jay. "We caught up on lost time. We
sang every chance we got. We just hit it hard. We'd stay up endless
nights writing music and playing together."

Jay and Joe Don met when they got jobs last year in Chely Wright's
band. Meanwhile, the cousins were also gigging in Nashville's infamous
Printers Alley with a part time guitarist. When their guitarist
couldn't make it to a show one weekend, Jay invited Joe Don to sit in
with them. None of them expected the magic that would make Joe Don a
permanent member of Rascal Flatts. "That night really worked out
special," Joe Don recalls. Jay knew that I sing high and he had been
taking the high part above Gary the whole time they had been singing
together. That night, he decided to take the low fifth." Jay pipes in,
"I was happy to take the low fifth. I heard Joe Don open his mouth and
I was like, "thank you, Jesus!" And, the first night that we sang
together, we stopped and looked at each other on-stage, like -- that
was kind of cool, let's do that again! It really, really was magical.
We honestly didn't have to work hard at it. It was so natural and so
much fun."
Rascal Flatts went into the studio and recorded some rough demos with
Bright and Williams that were played for producer Dann Huff. Even
though Huff was not involved with the project, he was so excited by
Rascal Flatts' powerful vocal harmonies and stellar musicianship that
he called Lyric Street Records' Senior VP of AandR, Doug Howard, and
said, "You have to hear this group." Four days later Lyric Street had
completed demos in their hands and a new group to sign.
It is impossible to pinpoint just one element that makes Rascal Flatts'
music so special. "We just really jelled because of our influences;
pop, RandB, country, gospel, bluegrass roots," says Joe Don. "We've
always liked to try to be different, even if we were just playing at
some little dive," Jay explains. "When someone listens to Rascal
Flatts, they're going to hear a lot of harmony, a lot of funkiness
because we love to groove. It's so encouraging for us to see country
music going more that direction." "We felt like Lyric Street really
had a great grasp on the way that country music was going with
SHeDAISY," Gary continues, "and from the beginning we felt like we
wanted to be there because of that." And Lyric Street has the power of
Disney behind them," adds Jay, "which is really exciting."
Rascal Flatts is the perfect New Millennium group signed to the most
forward-looking new label in Nashville. They were deeply influenced by
musical family roots that stretch back to the beginnings of country
music itself, and they were influenced by music-making parents and
siblings that passed on the contemporary country influences of the
latter part of the century. What Jay, Gary and Joe Don have done is
add all their individual influences and creativity to a potent, new
musical brew seasoned by all that made country music great in the 20th
Century, yet is immediately as fresh and exciting as the 21st Century.
