Chiefbear on the Road had the opportunity of being invited behind the scenes of the Rascal Flatts’ tour. The lead truck driver, Casey Reeland, invited me. I was with the Rascal Flatts’ crew for two of their shows. The first show was at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The second show was in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania. I would like to thank the Rascal Flatts’ management for letting me come behind the scenes of this tour. Also, special thanks to the crew for welcoming me. Hope you enjoy the pictures of the Rascal Flatts’ tour. read more
