A lot has changed for Rascal Flatts since they first got together 15 years ago. Jay DeMarcus says, “The biggest change is the fact that I’m married now, and I have been for a while, and I have two kids and a family, so that’s the biggest life changing thing that’s happened to me.”

On the professional front he says, “The platform we’ve been given with Rascal Flatts and the people that we get to reach is something I never dreamed, if somebody would have told me back then I’d be able to do I would have probably not believed them. So I feel like those are two of the biggest things changed since I was road doggin’ it back in a 15-passenger van, and a trailer.”

Of course, these days, Rascal Flatts has a lot more hit songs to their name, including their latest single, “Payback,” which is currently climbing the charts, they have a lot more awards on their mantle, and they’re playing for much bigger crowds out on their Rewind Tour than they did back in the early days when they were traveling across the country in that van.

Rascal Flatts – Jay how life changed :29
Jay DeMarcus – “Well, I’d say the biggest change is the fact that I’m married now, and I have been for a while, and I have two kids and a family, so that’s the biggest life changing thing that’s happened to me. And obviously, the platform we’ve been given with Rascal Flatts and the people that we get to reach is something I never dreamed if somebody would have told me back then I’d be able to do I would have probably not believed them. So I feel like those are two of the biggest things changed since I was road doggin’ it back in a 15-passenger van, and a trailer.”
