New album?
We all know that Rascal Flatts just released their “Unstoppable” album on April. It seems the guys are wasting no time, in going back into the studio. Here is a picture Jay DeMarcus twittered of them working hard in the studio.

They also hinted back in July on their twitter about a big duet with a “huge female star.“Hey yall we r heading in the studio today to cut a few new songs. Doing a duet with a surprise singer. Hope u like it. She’s a big star”

The guys also recently wrote with American Idol judge Kara Dioguardi.

Rascal Flatts announced today that their October 17th, tour date stop at the Sommet Center, in Nashville, TN will benefit the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. All the proceeds from the show that night will be donated to the hospital.

The last 3 years, the trio has donated more than $2.2 million generated through the Nashville concerts every year.

“We have been overwhelmed by Nashville’s response to the Children’s Hospital benefit shows in the past three years,” said Gary LeVox, the band’s singer. “It matters to us to give back, and we can’t think of a better way to do that than to help right here in our own community. We have our fans and friends in Nashville to thank for being so generous.”

Tickets for the upcoming show go on-sale this Saturday, September 13, and are available at ticketmaster, 255-9600 or www.ticketmaster.com.
