Best Answer

Rascal Flatts were founded near Columbus, Ohio. Gary Levox and Jay DeMarcus are second cousins from a musical family. DeMarcus's brother-in-law, James Otto, is also a Country Music artist. DeMarcus moved to Nashville in 1992, earning his first record deal as part of a Christian group called East to West. In 1997, he finally convinced LeVox to leave behind his job with the Ohio Department of Mental Retardation and follow his musical dreams as well. DeMarcus soon joined Chely Wright's band, and there he met Joe Don Rooney. DeMarcus and LeVox were working in a Printer's Alley nightclub, and when their part-time guitarist could not make it one night, DeMarcus invited Rooney to sit in. Eventually, they took the name Rascal Flatts from a famous landmark in Oklahoma and began performing together, getting signed to Lyric Street Records in late 1999.

Rascal Flatts first met in Nashville, Tennessee, in 1999, at the Fiddle and Steel Guitar Bar. Gary LeVox, the lead vocalist, and Jay DeMarcus, the bassist, keyboardist, and backup vocalist, are second cousins from Columbus, Ohio. Jay moved to Nashville, and played with a few other bands, and later convinced Gary to join him doing gigs. Joe Don Rooney was Jay's band mate in Chely Wright's band. His and Gary's guitarist didn't show, so he called Joe Don to fill in. "All three were blown away by their collective sound, and they began playing as a trio, up to seven hours a night," according to rascalflatts.com .
