Saturday To-Do: Rascal Flatts



RASCAL FLATTS / KELLIE PICKLER
8 p.m., Alltel Arena. $49-$63.

Harmonies don't get much better than this for country fans. Rascal Flatts, one of the hottest young country groups, comes to town behind its fifth record, “Still Feels Good.” Country purists would call the trio pop, but with mandolins and mournful violins and a touch of twang in those big vocals, it's a kind of pop this part of the country can get behind. The trio has sold 12 million records in eight years. If there's any correlation between albums and concert tickets, Alltel will be full up on Saturday. Former American Idol contestant Kellie Pickler is likely to charm the audience in the opening spot with her down home charm and big vocals.
