Rascal Flatts Still Loves The Vibe of Bar Gigs

They got their start playing in small bars and clubs, and although they’ve since graduated to arenas and amphitheaters, they still remember and appreciate those early gigs. “There’s somethin’ to be said for havin’ a little intimate crowd and bein’ able to connect with each and every person in the room,” says Jay DeMarcus. “Unfortunately, that doesn’t pay the bills. So we have to go to larger arenas in order to do what we do. But, we do love goin’ back. Every once in a while we’ll go back to a club and sit down and do a couple sets just to remind ourselves how much we love the old days.”

Rascal Flatts is currently out on their Rewind Tour playing their arena-size hits like “Fast Cars and Freedom,” “Me and My Gang” and their current single, “Payback.”
