LONESTAR

Description

Lonestar is a celebrated American country music group that captured global attention with their timeless ballad “Amazed,” a crossover sensation that spent 9 weeks at No. 1 on the country charts and 2 weeks at No. 1 on the pop charts, earning both Single and Song of the Year honors from the Academy of Country Music. Known for blending heartfelt storytelling with a polished pop-country sound, the band—comprised of Dean Sams, Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater, and Drew Womack—has left an indelible mark on the genre boasting a staggering 22 top ten singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, including 10 that reached No. 1.

Their meteoric rise began in 1995 with the top 5 single “Tequila Talking,” followed by No. 1 hits like the rock-tinged “No News,” “Come Cryin’ to Me,” and “Everything’s Changed.” The release of their quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill delivered four No. 1 singles.

Lonestar’s success has earned them widespread acclaim and numerous accolades, including Academy of Country Music awards for New Vocal Group, Single and Song of the Year, and Humanitarian of the Year. They were also honored with the Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year and International Artist Achievement Award.

Lonestar is no stranger to chart-topping hits. Over the course of their 30 plus years together, the award-winning band has scored 10 No. 1 singles, including “I’m Already There,” which held steady at the top of the Billboard Country Charts for six weeks. They took fans down memory lane in 2023 by re-recording their No. 1 hits on the album TEN to 1.

Over the course of the band’s career, skilled musicianship and soaring vocals have become the hallmarks of Lonestar’s distinctive musical personality. “No News,” “What About Now,” “I’m Already There,” “My Front Porch Looking In” and “Amazed” are among the 22 top ten hits that have kept them filling seats in venues around the world, including a sold-out headlining show at Nashville’s famed Ryman Auditorium in 2023 that folks are still talking about.

With more than 10.5 million records sold worldwide, Lonestar stands as one of country music’s most enduring and influential bands, continuing to inspire fans with their heartfelt hits and musical legacy. On Lonestar’s latest album, they pay homage to the industry’s legendary female artists on Iconic, Vol. 1.
