subject: Rascal Flatts Tickets - New Label, Single And Album For Rascal Flatts [print this page] Rascal Flatts got it right when they crooned the smash single "I'm Movin' On." Moving on is exactly what this talented country music trio is doing in the wake of their label Lyric Street Records going defunct, and they've already got big plans in place for this fall.
Not hesitating a moment after their longtime label's closure, Flatts has said farewell to Lyric Street and will now join the likes of Taylor Swift on Scott Borchetta's Big Machine Records. Big Machine, also home to country music's own Trisha Yearwood as well as Jack Ingram and Steel Magnolia, welcomes Flatts with open arms, and president/CEO Scott Borchetta summed things up at a press conference when he introduced the band to the label and mentioned their new catchphrase: "why wait."
Indeed, "Why Wait" has become the mantra around the Rascal Flatts camp, and the slogan is even the title of the band's brand new hit single. The song "Why Wait" saw release during the first week in August and is the lead single off Rascal Flatts' upcoming album Nothing Like This, which will hit record stores Nov. 16 and is also the name of their current nationwide tour.
While the wholesome trio is selling out Rascal Flatts tickets for dates across the country on their current Nothing Like This Tour, Flatts hasn't hesitated at keeping positive throughout this hectic time for them. With so many new ventures colliding at once, Flatts has already taken strides with fitting in at Big Machine.
GAC reported that band members held a press conference during the first week of August to announce their label change to Big Machine, and at the event band member Jay DeMarcus joked, "I'm just thrilled that Taylor (Swift) let us on the label, really." Gary LeVox later added, "We said, 'Scott, is she in Europe? Well let's go ahead and get this done.'"
Current preparations to join a new label, push out a new album and promote a new single all at the same time might take Rascal Flatts back to the year 2000, when they first infiltrated the country music scene with the help of Lyric Street Records and a powerful vocal weapon called Gary LeVox. Indeed, starting over might seem like a similar situation to where the band was a decade ago - if it wasn't for the loads of number one hits, platinum-selling albums and sell-out concerts they've racked up over the last 10 years, that is.
Rascal Flatts first became a contemporary country music deity exactly a decade ago, when their catchy tunes first resonated with the country crowd. Smash singles "Prayin' for Daylight" and "This Everyday Love" paved the way for the trio's debut album Rascal Flatts to make waves on the country music charts, and the crew has been absolutely unstoppable ever since.
Now known for their heartfelt ballads as well as summery feel-good tunes, Rascal Flatts is a reigning figure in the country music industry and has taken all necessary steps to being the complete package for now and also in the long run. The band's recent switch to Big Machine Records is just another mile-marker for the contemporary trio, and fans can't wait to get hold of Nothing Like This as the band prepares its seventh studio album for release.
