Jay DeMarcus from Rascal Flatts crossed paths with Kid Rock back in 2013 in a way that you would never guess — even with infinite guesses.
DeMarcus was a guest on Taste of Country Nights along with his 13-year-old son, Dylan, where he told us about the time Kid Rock let him borrow his personal jet in an emergency situation.
“I had a day off the day before, and we played golf all day long so I knew I could sleep in,” he explained.
“We had a very long day on the golf course, might have had an adult beverage or two.”
Describing the life of a touring musician, he explained, “I woke up in Detroit and had missed forty-some-odd calls from my wife.”
“She said, ‘You gotta get here today, our son is coming,’ and I’m like, ‘I’m in Detroit, I dunno how I’m gonna get there.'”

Here is the cutest/funniest part of the story: I asked Dylan if he has heard this story a lot and he joked, “I mean, I’ve heard it a ton. My dad’s pretty proud that he made it back on time, so I’ve heard this story a couple of times.”
Dylan DeMarcus just released his cover of Rascal Flatts “Bless This Broken Road” on his father’s record label, Red Street Records, and it sounds amazing.
