Here is the broadcast of a surprise invitation for Rascal Flatts to join the Grand Ole Opry family, from Oklahoma native Vince Gill.
Rascal Flatts features Picher native Joe Don Rooney. They performed Tuesday at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Rascal Flatts -- Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney -- will be formally inducted into the Opry family during the Opry’s 86th birthday weekend, on Oct. 8.
The show will air live at 8 p.m. Oct. 8 on GAC: Great American Country.
Following a lengthy audience ovation after the invitation, LeVox said, “You know, we’ve gotten to do a lot of amazing things in our career like going to Iraq and visiting our soldiers, selling out arenas, and doing a lot of magnificent things that … you can’t even dream that big.
"But all three of us grew up listening to the Opry: Jay with his grandfather, me with my grandmother, and Joe Don with his entire family. You can’t even put into words what this means to us.”
