Rascal Flatts joins the list of speakers set for the upcoming Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2020. Rascal Flatts: 20 Years Of Country Radio Success, is set for 4 p.m. CT on Wednesday, Feb. 19 at Nashville’s Omni Hotel, and is sponsored by the Country Music Association as its annual featured session at CRS.

Sarah Trahern, Chief Executive Officer for CMA, will conduct the in-depth Q&A with Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus, Joe Don Rooney and Gary LeVox, and together they will share insight into the trio’s 20-year journey, as Rascal Flatts broke down boundaries as true trailblazers in the genre while maintaining a longevity and relevance that continues to propel them to the top of the country charts. Prior to the 60-min discussion, Rascal Flatts will also appear at the Opening Ceremonies to reveal the Country Radio Hall of Fame Class of 2020.

“Rascal Flatts’ indelible mark on country music for the past two decades makes this a must-see event for CRS2020,” said CRB/CRS President of the Board, Kurt Johnson. “Gary, Jay and Joe Don are among the greatest legends of our genre, and their stories will be riveting.”

With seventeen No. 1’s, over 23.4 million albums sold, 35 million digital downloads and 2.2 billion streams worldwide, time and success have only put Rascal Flatts closer to their core with expert musicianship, razor-sharp vocals and songs that have shaped lives, loves and the genre of country itself. The trio’s Top 20 single “Back To Life” follows back-to-back chart-topping singles “Yours If You Want It” as well as “I Like The Sound Of That.” The group has also earned over 40 trophies from the ACA, ACM, AMA, CMA, People’s Choice and more, also making them the most awarded country group of the past decade. Known as one of the hottest-selling touring acts in any genre, Rascal Flatts has sold over 11 million concert tickets to date.

“2020 is going to be our 20th Anniversary as a band and is a huge milestone for us,” shared Gary LeVox. “Country radio has been such an important part of our story and so we’re looking forward to reflecting on where it all began and where country radio continues to take us today.”
