CURRENT SINGLE: “HOW THEY REMEMBER YOU”
2020 marks the 20th anniversary of Rascal Flatts as a band. It’s also the year they have chosen to step back from the band to pursue individual projects. As they reflect back on the band’s career, if there was one piece of advice they would give themselves when they were first starting out, Jay DeMarcus says, “I think all three of us would like to tell ourselves, is that you need to slow down and enjoy the ride a little bit more. It all happens in a blur and it goes by so quickly.”
Looking back at the height of Rascal Flatts’ success, Jay says, “Enjoying the moments that everything was happening so fast for us, I probably didn’t soak it up enough and I wish that I could go back and tell myself, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a once in a lifetime ride that you’re on. Enjoy every single second that you get to live this extraordinary life.”
To date, Rascal Flatts has racked up 17 Number One hits, sold over 23.4 million albums sold, 35 million digital downloads, sold over 11 million concert tickets and earned more than 40 trophies from the ACM, AMA, CMA, People’s Choice and more, making them the most awarded country group of the past decade.
Rascal Flatts – what tell yourselves 20 years ago :27
Jay DeMarcus – “You know, I think in all seriousness, I think one of the things I think all three of us would like to tell ourselves, is that you need to slow down and enjoy the ride a little bit more. It all happens in a blur and it goes by so quickly. And enjoying the moments that everything was happening so fast for us, I probably didn’t soak it up enough and I wish that I could go back and tell myself, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity and a once in a lifetime ride that you’re on. Enjoy every single second that you get to live this extraordinary life.”
