Evansville, Ind. – Perennial favorites Rascal Flatts proved they have what it takes to put on a show that delights their devoted fans when they took the stage with their “Live & Loud Tour†at the Ford Center on Saturday night. The veteran trio, made up of vocalist Gary LeVox, bassist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney spent 90 minutes serving up a full complement of their biggest country-pop hits, from “Bless the Broken Road†to “Life Is A Highway,†accompanied by massive video screens and tremendously talented back-up band members. Show openers Tyler Farr and The Band Perry proved that, with Evansville, their third time in Evansville is a charm. Tyler Farr played two dates at the Victory Theatre earlier in 2013, while The Band Perry returned to the Ford Center stage for the third time in three years, and area fans gave them each a very enthusiastic welcome. It was a night of high-energy music and fun for fans of all ages.
“The West Side Nut Club Fall Festival signals a big week in Evansville, and we thought this concert was a perfect way to top it off,†said Executive Director Scott Schoenike. “It’s always good to see so many music fans out in force and having a great time.â€
