Lonestar to shine at Thrasher-Horne on Oct. 20

ORANGE PARK – Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitarist, background vocals ), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals, guitar) are taking a fresh look at all 10 of their chart-topping country songs.

The streak started in 1996 with the band’s second single, the rock-edged “No News,” and continued with the following year’s “Come Cryin’ to Me” and “Everything’s Changed.” The band’s quadruple-platinum 1999 album Lonely Grill spawned four No. 1 hits (including the beloved global smash “Amazed”) and established Lonestar as music’s preeminent pop-country band—a status they’d maintain through the 2000s and beyond.

Lonestar will play many of their iconic hits on Oct. 20 at the Thrasher-Horne Center. Tickets, which start at $29, are available at thcenter.org.

With these re-recordings, the band members were mindful of striking a balance between preserving the sonic elements fans were familiar with – and not repeating them. Such talent has contributed to the band winning many of music’s top honors, including Academy Of Country Music awards for New Vocal Group in 1996, Single and Song Of The Year in 2000, along with Humanitarian Of The Year in 2002. They also won Country Music Association’s Vocal Group of the Year and International Artist Achievement award in 2001. All told, Lonestar have sold more than 10.5 million records since their formation.

“It’s amazing that we’re still standing and putting on great shows after all these years,” Sams said. “The fans are still coming out to our shows night after night to see us and hear our music. That’s almost 30 years of touring, and I can’t tell you how grateful I am – and I’ve never once taken it for granted.”
