HUNTINGTON -- The super country group Rascal Flatts will perform a brief but free concert Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center as part of a food festival hosted by the "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution" TV show.
The platinum-selling band will offer the acoustic, 30-minute concert at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at the Keith-Albee during Jamie Oliver's Food Festival planned this weekend to be filmed for the ABC reality series now in production in Huntington. The TV show is to be aired in February.

Each person is limited to two tickets.
For those who don't get the free tickets, the concert will be broadcast live onto 3rd Avenue during the festival, where more than 30 West Virginia vendors will sell wholesome foods that match Oliver's all-natural theme.
Huntington's country music stations, The Dawg, 93.7-FM, and WTCR-FM, 103.3, will also broadcast live from Thursday's giveaway at the Keith, and will give away VIP tickets over the air.
