Rascal Flatts just released their brand new single, “Back to Life,” but there’s another song that they’re also excited about called “Chose to be My Friend,” which is a collaboration they did with contemporary Christian singer, Jason Crabb. According to Gary LeVox, “[Jason] called and asked us if we’d like to debut it on the Dove Awards. So we were just thrilled to death to do it and we will go out there and knock it out.”
For all of the guys in Rascal Flatts, Gary explains, “Our faith and that music—Christian music and faith-based music—is part of our DNA and it’s what we grew up on, so it’s going to be a blast to be in there with a bunch of our friends and a bunch of our heroes.”
Jay DeMarcus agrees and says, “I went to my first Dove Award in 1993 and to be able to go back there and perform this year with Jason is pretty special. He’s one of the better singers you’ll ever hear in your life. And for he and Gary to sing this song together is going to be a real special moment. The two of them together are fantastic.”
The Dove Awards will be taped in Nashville on October 16th, and then you’ll be able to see Rascal Flatts’ performance with Jason on October 21st on TBN.
Rascal Flatts – Dove Awards :40
Gary LeVox – We actually did a duet with Jason Crabb on his album and it’s his current single and he called and asked us if we’d like to debut it on the Dove Awards. So we were just thrilled to death to do it and we will go out there and knock it out, but our faith and that music—Christian music and faith-based music—is part of our DNA and it’s what we grew up on, so it’s going to be a blast to be in there with a bunch of our friends and a bunch of our heroes.
