NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Rascal Flatts bassist Jay DeMarcus and his wife Allison have a new addition to the family.

The couple's second child and first son, Dylan Jay DeMarcus, was born Friday afternoon in Nashville, Tenn.

Dylan weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long when born. A news release says mother and child are doing fine. He joins 1-year-old sister Madeline Leigh.

DeMarcus has a little time at home with his family before hitting the road again Friday in St. Louis for the trio's "Changed" tour.
