The latest leg of country trio Rascal Flatts [ tickets ]' "Here's to You Tour," which kicked off last week, now stretches into mid-March.

The group has tacked onto its itinerary February and March stops throughout the Eastern U.S. and Texas, and has also begun penciling in stops on the summer fair circuit. Details are shown below.

Singer Blake Shelton [ tickets ] is on board as the tour's opening act. He's backing last year's "Blake Shelton's Barn & Grill," which spawned the chart-topping hit "Some Beach," and also features latest single "Goodbye Time."

Rascal Flatts, meanwhile, is supporting last September's "Feels Like Today," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart and has since gone platinum. Helping spur sales are the set's title track and follow-up hit "Bless the Broken Road."

"Feels Like Today" is Rascal Flatts' third album, and follows 2002's "Melt," which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart.

Last year, Rascal Flatts won the CMA and ACM awards for Vocal Group of the Year.
