Featured Item: Rascal Flatts Autographed Guitar!
|
|
Since their debut in 2000, Rascal Flatts helped shape country music's new millennium sound with their three-part harmonies and pop-leaning melodies. Chart hits, Platinum-selling albums and a number of awards wins and nominations place them among the genre's most successful bands.
After 20 years together, Rascal Flatts announced in January that they would be stepping out of the spotlight after a farewell tour (now canceled due to the novel coronavirus pandemic) and a year of celebrating their two decades as a band.
A greatest hits album was just released on October 2nd as part of their farewell celebration and features 13 of their No.1 songs and seven other fan favorites.
Don't miss out on a chance to own this handmade "Morgan Monroe" acoustic guitar! We may not ever see this trio on the stage together again...
