Rascal Flatts' HERE'S TO YOU Tour To Continue in 2005

NASHVILLE, TN. (Lyric Street Records/ www.rascalflatts.com) - As the 2004 CMA & ACM Vocal Group of the Year RASCAL FLATTS is preparing to re-launch their highly successful headline tour 'HERE'S TO YOU,' named after a song co-penned by member Jay DeMarcus as an ode to their fans, they are currently enjoying the success of their No 1 chart status of hit single 'Bless The Broken Road.' The tour will kick-off in St Louis, Missouri this Thursday, January 27 with Blake Shelton.

'We've enjoyed a little time off and can't wait to see our fans on the road again. We're thrilled Blake can come along for the ride,' says Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LeVox.

'What a great year Rascal Flatts had, I'm looking forward to sharing a stage with them. And they're always good for a laugh or two,' says Shelton about his touring mates. Shelton began 2005 exactly where he finished 2004, with the No 1 song in the country, "Some Beach," from his third Warner Bros. CD Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill. "Some Beach" marks Shelton's third No 1. His new single "Goodbye Time" hits country radio just in time for the tour's re-launch.

Coors Light will continue as tour sponsor with Clear Channel Entertainment's Nashville office producing all dates.

RASCAL FLATTS first headline tour took place in 2002 on the 'CMT Most Wanted Live Tour' which lead to 2003's 'Melt' tour and 'Here's To You' tour 2004- all played to packed houses and sold out dates.

RASCAL FLATTS new album, Feels Like Today, hit record stores September 28, 2004 just days before the initial launch of the 'HERE'S TO YOU' tour and is now certified platinum.
