Formed in 1992, Lonestar played some 500 shows before ever landing a recording contract.  Now, 20 years later, they are going strong and were recently reunited with their original lead singer, Richie McDonald.  Twenty years ago they were four guys looking to make a few bucks playing gigs in local bars, now they are multi-platinum recording artists who are still in shock at where they are musically.  It is amazing what you can achieve if you keep on going.  Lonestar has amassed RIAA-certified sales in excess of 10 million albums.  The band has ten #1 country hits, including their crossover hit “Amazed” which was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 was well as #1 on the country charts.  Lonestar is currently working on their follow up album to 2010’s Party Heard Around the World.  That album was recorded with Cody Collins as lead while McDonald was pursuing his solo career.  Richie McDonald is back now and even though parting ways with an original member could have spelled disaster, Lonestar and their fans adjusted well and the payoff is with the return of Richie.  “We’ve been very fortunate that a lot of our fans have stuck with us through the good and the bad.  You know who your true friends are by who stands by you during the low times, and we found we have a lot of friends,” says Dean Sams.
