Countryfest Rocked!
First time to a GNA Countryfest and let me just say, I WILL BE BACK! After seeing Rascal Flatts last year, I wanted to see them again. This was the closest venue to home to see them. (3.5 hours away, but that's okay) The lineup was great! I was super stoked that Dan & Shay were going to be there too and they totally rocked! We missed the two performers on the "back stage" because we had no idea where that was until it was too late. So better signage would be great for that purpose. Rascall Flatts was awesome, just as before! Thank you GNA for putting on an amazing show! We LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Artists were great but venue is going downhill
I would’ve much rather had Rascall Flatts not start at 9:45 so I could enjoy them without be omg exhausted. All the other performers were awesome! However SPAC has lost that hometown feel.

Disappointed
As much as I enjoyed the venue change,I would honestly say I enjoyed Dan+Shay as a better performance.Not sure if Gary had a cold or something but props to the others in the group for stepping up

Better venue, compromised talent
Just like the title says, the venue was far better than the fairgrounds of the past, however it appeared that the additional cost of SPAC caused them to cut back on the talent budget a little- not a bad show but def not anyone I would have gone to see individually.

Rascal Flatts at Jones Beach
Rascal Flatts’ performance was awesome!! However the sound quality was poor where we were sitting (under the overhang of the top section). I was hearing people’s conversations more than the music. The vocals were hard to hear as well it seemed the music was louder than the vocals.
Rascal Flatts Concert Schedule
Marrying pop with country is an art form all its own, and Rascal Flatts is proof positive. The harmonious trio from Ohio create both melodic ballads and thumping dance numbers. Comprised of Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus, the group has a penchant for meaningful lyrics and a sense of soul. Rascal Flatts live performances are rousing and welcoming. The energy in the crowd is frenetic, and the large live band creates an unparalleled buzz through the air. The band appeals to a young demographic and has earned the CMA award for Best Vocal Group of the Year and the ACA Decade Artist Award, along with other acclaim. Rascal Flatts earned the No. 1 spot on the U.S. Country Music charts for more than a dozen of their songs, including "Fast Cars and Freedom" and "Here Comes Goodbye." Rascal Flatts tours include the 2016 Rhythm and Roots Tour, 2015 Riot Tour and 2014 Rewind Tour.
Rascal Flatts Background
Rascal Flatts hails from Ohio, but they first assembled as a group in Nashville at the Fiddle and Steel Guitar Bar in the late '90s when second cousins LeVox and DeMarcus connected with Don Rooney through mutual friends. In 1999, the group recorded a three-song demo that was played for a Lyric Street executive by their producers. Soon, the band was signed to the Lyric Street label and within a year they would have a single on the Billboard charts. Some of their first big shows included opening for Kenny Chesney at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville and joining a stop on the Neon Circus Tour in Bristow, VA. Influenced by everyone from George Jones to Stevie Wonder, Rascal Flatts quickly started accruing hit singles with their unique blend of country with a pop twist. The song that got them signed to their record label, "Prayin' for Daylight," reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts soon after they got their contract. Between 2000 and 2005, the group released and impressive three albums, and they continue to record at a breakneck pace. In 2014, their album Rewind debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums chart. Over the course of their career, the band's awards have included the ACM Top New Vocal Duo Or Group in 2001, People's Choice Awards Favorite Group in 2009, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012.
