Rascal Flatts Front Man Gary LeVox Headlines Dublin’s Independence Day Concert
Get ready to party at Dublin's Independence Day Celebration this year! The lead singer of Rascal Flatts, Gary LeVox, will headline the Evening Celebration Monday, July 4, at the Dublin Coffman High School stadium. Born and raised in Central Ohio, LeVox made a name for himself as the lead singer of the multi-platinum selling, country-pop group Rascal Flatts.
LeVox, along with bandmates Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney founded Rascal Flatts in 2000, and they went on to enjoy one of the most successful careers in modern country music. Infusing the genre's traditional sound with massive pop hooks and rock showmanship, they scored 17 No. 1 singles and sold more than 23 million albums, while also selling more than 11 million concert tickets and earning more than 40 award-show trophies.
Embarking on a solo career, LeVox's debut solo collection "ONE ON ONE" includes multiple compelling collaborations. LeVox enjoys songwriting and the creative freedom being a solo artist allows. He also has the rights to sing all of the Rascal Flatts' hits and will play with many of the musicians from the band.
