Farm Life to Fame: Gary LeVox on Rascal Flatts, Printers Alley, and Wine Ventures :: Ep 20 TTIAST

What does it take to go from farm life to the bustling city lights? Join us this week as we sit down with the incredible Gary LeVox for a heartfelt and entertaining chat about his unique journey. From sharing hilarious GPS mishaps to performing a live song, Gary brings laughter and music straight to your ears. We also talk about his sophisticated venture, LeVox Wine, where he introduces us to an exquisite selection from Pinot Noir to a unique white blend, and even gives tips on how to snag a bottle for yourself.

Step back in time with us to the early days of the Nashville music scene, where we reminisce about the gritty but vibrant days of Printers Alley. We recount our struggles to play at iconic venues, the camaraderie, and competition among musicians, and the introduction of Joe Don Rooney in 1999, who became a pivotal part of our journey. You'll hear about the formation of Rascal Flatts, the balancing act of day jobs, and the magical moment our harmonies connected, thanks to the support of key figures like Myla Mason and Mark Bright.

But that's not all! Gary shares amusing anecdotes from our early songwriting days, unexpected visits, turkey hunting adventures, and the raw realities of life on tour. We reflect on the challenges faced by new artists in the age of TikTok versus the traditional grind, highlighting personal stories from our career that emphasize the value of live audience feedback. Ending on a hopeful note, we discuss memorable collaborations, potential future reunions, and the exciting projects ahead.
