No, for me, it\u2019s be true to yourself, don\u2019t try to follow trends, hone your craft, be as good as you can and don\u2019t be afraid to grow. I think that\u2019s the thing. Even artists that have been around for a while get complacent and set in their ways and think they have it all figured out, and aren\u2019t really open to learning new things and to growing and changing with the times, and opening themselves up to a different way of doing things. You know, it\u2019s okay to collaborate with different people you never thought you\u2019d see yourselves collaborating with. And so, just constantly learning and constantly trying to be the best you can be at what you do specifically, I think is the best thing in the world that you can do as an artist.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rascal Flatts\u2019 latest song, \u201cHow They Remember You,\u201d is a top 30 hit and still climbing, and while they declared 2020 to be their last year as a band, that was all pre-pandemic, so they\u2019re not sure what the future holds, but they\u2019ve definitely got some surprises in store for their fans over the next six months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rascal Flatts is arguably one of the most successful bands in country music history, and with 20 years under their belts.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":11072,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[4413,4471,2204],"class_list":["post-11049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-how-they-remember-you","tag-jay-demarcus","tag-rascal-flatts"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 14:30:28","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2020\/09\/jay-demarcus-has-advice-for-young-muscians\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11049"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11049\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11061,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11049\/revisions\/11061"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
