The New Year of 2010 launches with the promise of the much-anticipated return to the charts of a true country music super-group—LONESTAR –whose career path to date has been marked by countless multi-platinum milestones.

The band is releasing their first studio album in four years—cause enough for celebration to the universe of country/pop cross-over fans who have long embraced them. And the news gets better. Party Heard Around The World, their 10th album, is a total ‘hands on’ creative effort, produced by the band with eight of the ten tracks written by the foursome. Noted lead guitarist and original member Michael Britt said in a recent interview: “We feel that this album is a complete reflection of the group, circa 2010. It’s personal and powerful music that reflects the core values of Lonestar through lyrics, performance and production.”

Lonestar’s commitment to open the new decade with a new chapter of music will have the full label support of Saguaro Road Records and be the subject of a major multi-phase national retail/radio/media/marketing campaign set to roll-out in advance of the March 30th street date.

Known both for their strong country roots as well as their multi-genre crossover appeal that’s led to a history of success on the pop/rock charts, Lonestar has only their own career records to break. To date, the band has RIAA certified sales in excess of 10 million album units since their national launch in 1995. The Texas bred band has had an impressive list of hit singles on the country charts, including ten #1’s as well as nine Top 40 songs on the pop charts. Signature songs in the mid-90’s included early #1 hits such as “No News,” and “Come Cryin’ To Me.” Their 1999 album release, Lonely Grill, produced Lonestar’s biggest crossover smash to date, the ballad “Amazed,” which spent eight weeks at the #1 spot on the country charts as well as reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The dual win made them the first country act since Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton’s “Islands In the Stream” in 1983 to accomplish this career milestone. Three more singles from the band (“Smile,” “What About Now,” and “Tell Her”) followed to #1 as the Lonely Grill album was certified multi-platinum. Lonestar dealt listeners a follow-up platinum hand with the release of their I’m Already There album (2001) with the title track lead-off single spending six weeks at #1 as the album was on the way to platinum certification.

In addition to garnering music accolades, Lonestar has been oft- lauded for their continuous outreach in the arena of humanitarian goodwill. The band was recognized by The Academy of Country Music with the coveted Home Depot Humanitarian Award in 2003 for their continued commitment to help build the dreams of those in need—this in recognition to the group’s single handed dedication to the building of a playground for children in tornado ravaged Jackson, Tennessee. America’s military forces have been a major focus for concert and fund raising efforts by the band as has St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, to mention only a few of their ongoing humanitarian interests.

Lonestar consists of original members Dean Sams, Keech Rainwater, and Michael Britt, as well as lead vocalist Cody Collins who joined the group in 2007.

Party Heard Around The World is set to make a legion of new fans, as well as re-connect Lonestar to a universe of dedicated fans for whom their latest studio project has been eagerly awaited. Tour dates in support of the new album release are expected to be announced within the next few weeks.

A benefit for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Prior to CMA Music Fest! Multi-platinum selling Lonestar will help kick-off the CMA Music Festival with "Lonestar Strikes Out For The Kids", a bowling party to raise money and awareness for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The strike and spare event will be held at the Hermitage Lanes in Nashville, Tenn. on Monday, June 8th from 6-10 p.m. CT.
Celebrities have been invited to host bowling lanes for the party, and fans attending the event have a chance to bowl with the artists. Three lucky fans' names will be drawn to bowl a game with each artist. The drawing for bowling slots will take place prior to the party, and winners names will be announced at the party. Also, in the lobby of the bowling center, a silent auction will be held throughout the evening featuring items from some of country music's biggest stars. Each attending celebrity will receive a custom-made bowling shirt, which will be autographed by the celebrity and then auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Tickets to the event are $30. Ticket price includes:
- a barbecue dinner (dinner will be served from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the bowling alley)
- admission to the bowling party and silent auction (bowling begins at 7 p.m.)
- each ticket holder will be eligible to participate in drawings for a spot on a celebrity's bowling team. However, if a child wins a bowling spot on a team, he or she must be old enough to be on the lanes unaccompanied by a parent or guardian.
A portion of the proceeds from the event will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, which is one of the world's premier centers for research and treatment of catastrophic diseases in children.
