Little Rascals
Country crooners Rascal Flatts bring their rollicking brand of music to Boardwalk Hall on August 23, in a show sponsored by Resorts and Hilton.
With just four albums under their belt, Rascal Flatts has become one of the most popular country music artists today, receiving Vocal Group of the Year awards from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Awards. In 2005, they added Billboard and R&R Artist of the Year trophies, and were nominated for three Grammy Awards, winning Country Song of the Year for “Bless The Broken Road.”
The most-played band on country radio, Rascal Flatts is a trio consisting of members Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus. They got their start in Nashville, playing in a small club in Printer’s Alley, where their smooth harmonies and versatile musicianship created a sensation. They released their self-titled debut in 2000, followed by
Melt in 2002. But their breakthrough album,
Feels Like Today, came in 2004.
Collaborating with some of Nashville’s best songwriters, the band released
Me And My Gang last year, which debuted at No. 1 on the Soundscan Top 200 albums chart. Their current tour will rely on hits from that disc and their upcoming release,
Still Feels Good, scheduled to hit stores in September.
Rascal Flatts performs 8 p.m. August 23 at Boardwalk Hall. Tickets are $55, $85, $110, $135, $175.
