Meet Lonestar
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 “Amazed,” — spending eight weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart, becoming a huge crossover hit, climbing to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 — and “I’m Already There,” which held steady at the top for six weeks. Michael Britt (Guitar), Keech Rainwater (Drums), Dean Sams (Keyboard) and Drew Womack (Vocals) definitely know a thing or two about delivering impactful songs. In fact, they took fans down memory lane in 2023 by re-recording their No. 1 hits on the album TEN to 1. On Lonestar’s latest, they pay thoughtful homage to the industry’s legendary female artists on Iconic, Vol. 1.
“It’s a way of sharing something that’s been heard before, but we’re putting a new spin on it,” Rainwater says. “Drew puts his stamp on it and everybody in the band brings their own interpretation to each song to make it our own. It’s really been a lot of fun. I think the fans will hear it and say, ‘Oh I recognize that song, but it’s different. It’s Lonestar!’”
Over the course of the band’s career, skilled musicianship, unerring song sense 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. Their chart history is impressive and includes 10 No. 1 country hits as well as the chart-topping crossover “Amazed,” which earned both Single and Song of the Year honors from the Academy of Country Music.
