All the members of Rascal Flatts are fathers, and as we prepare to celebrate Father’s Day this Sunday, Jay DeMarcus jokes that it was his dad’s tough love that pushed him to always be better in life. “My dad said to me, ‘Son, you’ll never amount to anything.’ And I held onto that all of my life. No … My dad was pretty hard on me growing up and I’m grateful that he was. He was one of those guys that always pushed me to be better and do better and I learned a lot from him.”
Never one to take himself too seriously, Jay says, “I’m thankful to have the opportunity to try to be as crappy to my kids as he was to me. But thank you for bringing up some painful past. That’s really sweet of you.”
Rascal Flatts is currently out on their Summer Playlist Tour, promoting their latest single, “Back to Life.” You can get a complete list of their tour dates on rascalflatts.com.

“My dad said to me, “Son, you’ll never amount to anything,”. And I held onto that all of my life. No, you know it is… My dad was pretty hard on me growing up and I’m grateful that he was.
