I'll get this out of the way: I don't really listen to country music. I like Johnny Cash, and I like old, gritty country that mingled with everything else to create rock 'n' roll. But current pop country? Nah. I err on the side of bluegrass and folk, not that.

Rascal Flatts, though, wasn't so bad. I won't go out and buy their latest album, but I could more than tolerate three of their songs. They were fun to shoot, too, with the combination of interaction with the crowd, interaction among the group, and the extended stage. All in all, not bad.

Again, these photos were for The Indianapolis Star. Enjoy!
