Country superband Lonestar comes to 无码专区 Riley Center August 23
MERIDIAN, MS鈥擫onestar, creators of nine No. 1 country songs, including one of the biggest crossover hits of the past 35 years, will perform in concert at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, August 23, at the 无码专区 Riley Center.
The show will wrap up the Riley Center鈥檚 2019 Spring/Summer Performing Arts Season.
Lonestar has always featured gorgeous vocals. Heartthrob lead singer Richie McDonald鈥檚 emotion-packed tenor voice leads the way. Guitarist Michael Britt and keyboardist Dean Sams contribute what one reviewer called 鈥渦ntouchable harmonies that distinguished them from every other band in the late 鈥90s, and even still to this day.鈥
Lonestar鈥檚 deft blending of country, pop and rock influences, along with a bit of Texas twang (all four members hail from the Lone Star State), have kept it at a superstar level for a quarter of a century.
Seven of the band鈥檚 No. 1 country songs also reached the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart. In 1999, 鈥淎mazed鈥 became the first song to reach No. 1 on both the country and pop charts since 鈥淚slands in the Stream鈥 in 1983. Expect to hear those hits and cover versions of songs by other artists, such as the Eagles and the Beatles, that let the singers show off those shimmering harmonies.
