Rascal Flatts
Rascal Flatts, a country trio known primarily for their pleasing harmony, is comprised of Gary Levox, Jay DeMarcus, and Joe Don Rooney. Demarcus and Levox, both from Columbus, OH, founded the group and later added Rooney, a Picher, OK, native. The blend now known as Rascal Flatts came together when second cousins Demarcus and Levox invited Rooney to sit in as a substitute guitar player at a Printer's Alley gig in Nashville. Demarcus and Rooney were also playing in country star Chely Wright's band at the time. The rest is history.
After landing a record deal with Lyric Street Records, the trio recorded an eclectic mix of country, pop, R&B, and more with their debut self-titled album. "Prayin' for Daylight" became the group's first smash single. "This Everyday Love" soon followed, with almost as many accolades. The band's second album, Melt, appeared in October 2002. With the success of first single "These Days," Melt had sold a million copies in eight weeks. ..
