The Stork Has Come Calling

Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts and his wife, Allison, welcomed their first child last Friday in Nashville. Madeline Leigh weighed six pounds nine ounces. The couple plan to call her Maddie. Jay and Allison married six years ago and met when Allison appeared in Rascal Flatts "These Days" video. After Rascal Flatts wrap up the final leg of their Nothing Like This Tour in March of next year, they plan to hit the road in early July with an event they are calling Flatts Fest. Joe Don Rooney says the tour will be filled with plenty of music to enjoy, “It’s definitely gonna be a multiple artist bill for sure. There’s gonna be some big names, a lot of fun. It’s gonna be a big party.”

Josh Turner also received an early Christmas gift with the arrival of a new, bouncing baby boy! Josh and his wife, Jennifer, welcomed Crawford Marion to the family. The new baby joins older brothers, Colby Lynch and Hampton Otis. Just like his brothers, Marion, as he will be called, arrived early weighing 6 pounds 15 ounces and measuring 19 inches long.

And finally, country music’s biggest stars are supporting the Red Cross during the holiday season. Reba, Rascal Flatts, Pat Green, Wynonna, and Sara Evans, all members of the American Red Cross National Celebrity Cabinet, are encouraging fans to check out the Red Cross holiday online catalog, Gifts that Save the Day. The catalog gifts are contributions toward a Red Cross program area including, military and disaster relief. In a video message for the campaign Reba said, “This holiday season, I’m giving the gift of hope by supporting my local American Red Cross, Instead of sweaters and ties I’m giving gifts from the Red Cross Holiday Giving Catalog.”
