About

Nashville superstar Chely Wright's backing band members were so talented that they went out and started their own musical project, the fruit of which is Rascal Flatts. Where Wright tends toward the more twangy roots of country music, Rascal Flatts take the foundation of country songs and layer on R&B-inspired rhythms overflowing with pop-rooted vocal harmonies. With their boyish good looks, uplifting optimism and friendly smiles, they have garnered many more comparisons to boy bands than country pop acts. And aside from the fact that the band write, record and perform some of the catchiest songs in the biz, their fans also seem to appreciate Rascal Flatts' humble, guy-next-door demeanor.
