RASCAL FLATTS TO MARK 10^TH ANNIVERSARY WITH PARTY CELEBRATING COUNTRY RADIO

Nashville, TN…(February 19, 2010)…Nearly ten years to the day following the release of their debut single, “Prayin’ For Daylight,” Rascal Flatts’ Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney will gather next week in Nashville to celebrate and thank country radio for the more than 3.5 million spins and 25 billion audience impressions accumulated over the last decade.

“Since ‘Prayin’ For Daylight,’ country radio has been our voice to the fans for ten years now,” says Jay DeMarcus. “We would never have been able to do what we've done without them, it's that simple. So, we wanted to take a moment to tell them face to face how much we appreciate their constant support of Rascal Flatts and our music; a moment to celebrate all we've accomplished together and toast to what lies ahead.”

A party will be held at Nashville’s Renaissance Hotel on February 24 to relive the band’s favorite memories with country radio and celebrate the hundreds of programmers and on-air talent who have been a part of Rascal Flatts’ ascension on the charts over the last ten years.  The event is open to all Country Radio Seminar credentialed attendees.
