Gary LeVox Releases Solo Christian Song

Gary LeVox, the longtime lead singer of Rascal Flatts, has released a new Christian solo track he co-wrote called “The Distance.”

He has also released a performance video of the track.

Gary said, “The Distance” was the first song written for my solo chapter.

With the struggles and battles so many have gone through this past year and taken over people’s everyday lives, this felt like a true song of hope.

With this song, the message we wanted to share is that our hope is not lost, it’s found on the cross. And with God, we can go the distance. Don’t ever give up.”

Gary has been fronting Rascal Flatts for the past 20 years alongside Jay DeMarcus and Joe Don Rooney.

While the shift to being a solo artist is bittersweet, Gary said it was also a necessary change.

“There’s mixed emotions. I mean, it feels great to be able to make the music that I want to make, I mean, not that I haven’t, but it’s just nice to have one opinion on what you’re cutting. I’m fitting in the shoes pretty well, so it’s good. It was time. There’s a time for a new season and now’s the time so it feels really good. I’m really excited about the music and I’m just thrilled about it.”

The trio celebrated its farewell with Twenty Years of Rascal Flatts The Greatest Hits in 2020. Gary will continue to pursue a career as a solo artist.
