Last Tuesday, Rascal Flatts popped in to the Grand Ole Opry for a three-song set and ended up getting quite a surprise. Vince Gill came on stage and invited them to become members of the Grand Ole Opry!
The guys will be officially inducted this Saturday night, October 8th. If you get Great American Country (GAC) you can watch the ceremony live at 7pm CT. Rascal Flatts also revealed that they will be releasing a new CD on April 3rd, 2012. They only have a few more shows this year and will enjoy some downtime with their families before getting back on the road and in the studio in 2012.
American Idol winner, and baseball fan Scotty McReery will be singing the Star Spangled Banner before the first game of the 2011 World Series. Scotty said he's excited about the opportunity but does admit that he's a little bummed because he won't be singing at Fenway Park in Boston since his favorite team got bumped out of the playoffs on the last day of the season. Scotty also announced that he'll be on tour with Brad Paisley in 2012.
After a small role in "The Lincoln Lawyer" (which was really good), Trace Adkins landed a role as a truck driver in the upcoming super-natural thriller "The Healer". Should be in theaters some time next year. I'll keep you posted.
Blake Shelton plans on a short tour to start 2012. Blake, Justin Moore and Dia Frampton from NBC's "The Voice" will play 27 cities between January and March. More details will be coming soon.
Don't forget to tune in and try to win "Butler Buck"!! Marty & Lindsey Marie announce the song of the day at 7:20am and then they post it on our facebook page at 9:20am. When you hear that song on WXBM between 10am - 7pm, be the 25th caller to win $100 from Butler U-Pull-It and Your Country 102.7 WXBM!
