20TH ANNIVERSARY SUMMER TOUR HITS LOS ANGELES JULY 27
The recently reunited quartet--MICHAEL BRITT, lead guitar & backing vocals; RICHIE McDONALD, lead vocals & piano; KEECH RAINWATER, drums; and DEAN SAMS, keyboards and backing vocals--kicked off 2012 with a hugely successful and acclaimed European tour on a multi-artist bill with Reba McEntire and Ricky Scaggs. LONESTAR also recently performed at the CMA Fest in Nashville: an invitation-only sold out show for their fan club at the Country Music Hall of Fameand Museum as well as on the Riverfront Stage for CMA festival attendees. The group debuted “The Countdown” for the standing-room-only festival show, as well as another new song, “Pretty Good Day.” “It was a blast” says SAMS. “Fans were singing along to the new single by the second verse.” McDONALD added, “What a way to start the summer: in the heat, outside, with thousands of fans singing along. Back on the bus!”
LONESTAR resume their touring schedule June 21 in Del Mar, CA, with shows booked through October including stops in Westbury, NY (7/13), Los Angeles(7/27) and Lancaster, PA (9/20). See all dates below.

AfterMcDonald left the band for a solo career in 2007, LONESTAR toured and released their 10th album in 2010, Party Heard Around The World, with now former lead vocalist Cody Collins.
