RASCAL FLATTS with special guest Kellie Pickler will be in concert on Thursday February 21 at 7:30pm at the Amway Arena. For Rascal Flatts, who just won their fifth straight CMA Group of the Year Award, it all begins when the lights go down. Since they were playing for a handful of people in a club in Nashville’s Printers Alley, it has always been that way for Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus. These days, of course, they play for thousands of screaming fans at night, drawn by state-of-the-art production and sound, and by spectacular vocal harmonies in service to an ever-expanding catalogue of hits. In between, it was the magic of those performances that catapulted Rascal Flatts into the front ranks of entertainers in all genres. By any measure, Rascal Flatts has entered elite territory. Six years into a career marked by superlatives, they have become country music's premiere young headliners. Hits like "These Days," "I'm Movin' On," "I Melt," "Bless The Broken Road," and "What Hurts the Most" have taken them repeatedly to the top of the charts. They have sold over thirteen-million records, with their fourth CD, Me and My Gang, charging to double-platinum in ONE week. They have pulled in a host of awards and accolades, and are the reigning CMA, ACM, CMT and ASCAP Vocal Group of the Year. Their latest effort Still Feels Good was released on September 25th and quickly reached #1 on the Billboard Top Albums chart. TICKET PRICES: $50.75 & $66. Kellie Pickler rose to fame on the 4th season of American Idol where she made the top 6. Since then she has been a rising star in the Country Music world.
