Rascal Flatts Picks Up Humanitarian Honor.

Country music’s biggest radio convention kicked off Wednesday by honoring Rascal Flatts for their charitable work. Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney picked up the 2012 Artist Humanitarian Award at Nashville’s Country Radio Seminar. Admitting “It’s a little uncomfortable to be recognized for something we feel we should be doing,” Jay went on to say it seems only natural to pay the blessings forward. In the past, the country trio has often done work and raised money for the American Red Cross, Make-A-Wish, and Nashville’s Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Rascal Flatts’ new CD “Changed” comes out April 3.
