Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts says that if his teenage daughters had a choice, they would stay out on the road with their dad 24/7.

“They would live out here," says LeVox. "They would make me work more, just because they don’t want to go home, they just want to ride the bus. They love it.”

One of the reasons his oldest daughter Brittany loves the road so much is because of her serious interest in music. He shares, “Brittany is a really, really good singer, really talented. So, she kind of looks at it and puts herself in my shoes. It’s kind of like homework for her. She can picture herself doing this, so it’s a lot of fun to have ‘em out.”

Rascal Flatts is currently out promoting their latest single, “Back to Life,” and then Gary’s daughters will have plenty of chances to ride the tour bus with dad, when the group hits the road in May for their Summer Playlist Tour.
