FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Not every musician has the opportunity to revisit and even potentially improve upon their biggest hits. But on its recently released TEN to 1 record, the award-winning band Lonestar— Dean Sams (keyboards, acoustic guitar, background vocals), Michael Britt (lead guitarist, background vocals ), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Drew Womack (lead vocals, guitar)—is taking a fresh look at all 10 of its chart-topping country songs.
Fans will be able to hear these songs, and more, in person as Lonestar is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 3, at the Lutcher Theater in Orange, Texas. This concert is just one of the many events announced this week by the venue as part of its upcoming 2024-2025 season. Ticket information is still to be announced.
This 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 it would maintain through the 2000s and beyond.
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. Fittingly, “TEN to 1” record reflects the ways Lonestar’s hits have evolved over the years during the band’s rousing, high-energy concerts. 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 has sold more than 10.5 million records since their formation.
