CMT Debut.

Journey planning summer dates with country band Rascal Flatts.

Journey's performance with Rascal Flatts Saturday night on CMT Crossroads in New Orleans could lead to the two bands doing some shows together this summer. Journey guitarist Neal Schon says, "It’s like a natural progression.” Jay DeMarcus of Rascal Flatts adds, “We’ve got mutual respect for each other and also love all the music equally. So, when you get a bunch of creative people in a room that love what each other is about and what they do, it’s very easy to get along.” And in case you missed Crossroads on Saturday, it will air again this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Journey will make up five dates this week that they postponed last year, starting Tuesday in Sioux City, Iowa.
