TN – October 16, 2018 — Jay DeMarcus, bassist, vocalist, pianist,
producer and songwriter for the superstar vocal group Rascal Flatts
announced a book contract today with Zondervan. Shotgun Angels: My Story of Broken Roads and Unshakable Hope is
set to release April 30, 2019. DeMarcus is represented by Kathy
Armistead Olen with Atticus Brand Partners and world rights were

“I’m really looking forward to sharing a pretty personal look at my path
so far, as that isn’t something I’ve done yet,” said DeMarcus. “In Shotgun Angels, readers
will hear never-before-told stories and get a glimpse into what it was
like for me coming from Columbus Ohio and my journey to Nashville. My
ultimate goal is that the book will encourage people that no matter
where they are in their lives, they can find hope, comfort and strength
in their faith.”
With no shortage of humor, heart, and off-the-cuff candor, Shotgun Angels gives
readers a backstage pass to the unlikely journey that led DeMarcus from
small-town Ohio to some of the world’s largest stages.
