CURRENT SINGLE: “How They Remember You”
Rascal Flatts has decided to pursue some solo projects after 20 years together as a band, but Jay DeMarcus is proud of the fact that they were able to make that choice this far into their career. When he looks back on the past two decades, Jay says, “I try to always take a few moments and thank God for the platform, the career, that he has given us and that I’ve been able to do it with people that mean so much to me. Gary and Joe Don, we could be sitting here 20 years later hating each other.”
Jay admits it hasn’t always been perfect, and they’ve had their falling outs and disagreements over the years, but he says, “It’s remained a family, and we’ve remained a tightknit unit, and a lot of bands can’t say that at the end of 20 years.”
For now, Jay, Gary and Joe Don are excited to try some different things on their own, but they’re not putting a period on the end of Rascal Flatts’ career. They say it’s entirely possible they’ll make more music together or tour together. Anything is possible.
Rascal Flatts – still friends 20 years later :28
Jay DeMarcus – “I try to always take a few moments and thank God for the platform, the career, that he has given us and that I’ve been able to do it with people that mean so much to me. Gary and Joe Don, we could be sitting here 20 years later hating each other. And although we’ve had our times where we’ve fallen out and we’ve disagreed, and things of that nature, it’s remained a family, and we’ve remained a tightknit unit, and a lot of bands can’t say that at the end of 20 years.”
