Jay DeMarcus is used to doing meet and greets and taking pictures as a member of Rascal Flatts, but there was one Halloween when kids were lined up to meet him, but it had nothing to do with his music.  Jay dressed up as Darth Vader from Star Wars, and he says, “I was life-size, and I had to do meet and greets with a whole neighborhood of kids.  Cause I got the Disney costume, like the real one, with the full helmet, the battery-powered breathing and everything. So I was actually separated from my family for a while.”

Eventially, Jay met back up with his family, which was good, because they had all dressed up in Star Wars themed costumes.  Jay says, “My son was Kylo Ren, which was awesome… My wife was Princess Leia. Maddie’s the only one that didn’t want to dress up as anybody from Star Wars.”

Rascal Flatts just released their new song, “Back to Life,” which they’ll be performing the night before Halloween at a Halloween bash in Nashville.  But they’ve got the actual night of Halloween off, so perhaps Jay will find a way to top his highly popular Darth Vader costume.

Rascal Flatts – Halloween  :27

Jay DeMarcus – “One of the better ones was when I was Darth Vader, like I was life-size, and I had to do meet and greets with a whole neighborhood of kids.  Cause I got the Disney costume, like the real one, with the full helmet, the battery-powered breathing and everything. So I was actually separated from my family for a while. And then my son was Kylo Ren, which was awesome. So our family did a Star Wars theme. My wife was Princess Leia. Maddie’s the only one that didn’t want to dress up as anybody from Star Wars.”
