They have surpassed their own expectations and are very happy with their success. They have released three albums in their short, yet successful career. They play many concerts all over the world and stay true to their roots by playing at the Ohio State Fair each year!

Rascal Flatts are huge supporters of the American Red Cross. Their music video “Every Day” shows pictures of the Red Cross providing support to those in need.
