Rascal Flatts’ “Riot” Video Released

RASCAL FLATTS BRING “RIOT” TO LIFE IN MOVING NEW MUSIC VIDEO 

PREMIERING EXCLUSIVELY ON NASH TV TODAY 

ACM “Vocal Group Of The Year” Nominees Set To Perform At 50th Annual ACM Awards 

Superstar vocal group Rascal Flatts released the emotion-driven video for their current single “RIOT” today exclusively on NASH TV at www.nashtv.com and the video will be carried on all NASH TV platforms including Cumulus Media, Inc. and NASH exclusive partner Music Choice On Demand, which brings NASH TV to 57 million homes through cable TV.  Directed by Brian Lazzaro, the storyline of “Riot” is woven through an intense boxing match while spotlighting a young couple going through deep relationship turmoil, as Rascal Flatts execute a powerful performance of the track. 

“This song has so many different interpretations that there were a lot of concepts to play around with,” said Rascal Flatts’ Gary LeVox. “Ultimately though, this song is about fighting for love and this video tugs at your heart strings. The story between the couple was shot beautifully, we’re really pleased with it and looking forward to our fans seeing the song from this perspective.” 

John Dickey, Executive Vice President, Programming and Content for Cumulus said:  “Big Machine Label Group’s and the Flatts’ decisions to world premiere the video for their new song “RIOT” on NASH TV is truly an honor and reinforces NASH TV as the fastest growing producer of original artist-centric lifestyle content in the country lifestyle segment. Lots more of this to come.” 

Stokes Nielson, Director of NASH TV said: “This is a fantastic extension of our original content programming and another way that NASH TV brings country fans closer to their favorite artists.”

Currently nominated for ACM’s “Vocal Group of The Year,” Rascal Flatts will head to Texas later this week to perform live on 50th Academy of Country Music Awards broadcasting from AT&T Stadium on April 19 at 7:00PM CT on CBS.  The trio are the most awarded country group of the past decade, having earned over 40 trophies from the ACAs, ACMs, AMAs, CMAs, People’s Choice Awards and more.
