THE FRONTMEN'S SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM ARRIVES TODAY VIA BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE

 

Stream and Download "The Frontmen" HERE

THE FRONTMEN, three of ‘90s country’s most recognizable voices — Richie McDonald, formerly of Lonestar; Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas; and Larry Stewart of Restless Heart — today release their self-titled debut album via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. 

The Frontmen, produced by two-time GRAMMY-nominated Mickey Jack Cones, features nine original songs, as well as three Lonestar, Little Texas and Restless Heart No. 1 hits, re-recorded Frontmen-style. The trio tag team lead vocals throughout.

"It's super cool to release brand new Frontmen music as a full album," says Stewart. "I'm so excited about this music, these songs and how this project represents the three of us so perfectly. Mickey Jack Cones did a magical job capturing Richie, Tim and myself from top to bottom. I can’t wait for the world to hear it and I couldn’t be more proud!"

Original tunes on the project ("Beatles and Eagles," "The Radio Played," "Layin' Low in Mexico," "It Was Always You," "Rattlesnake," "I Need You," "Goodbye Beautiful Goodbye," "Should've Run Out of Angels" and "Left Their Mark") were hand-picked by the trio and Cones. Classic tunes on the album are songs most will instantly recognize: Lonestar's “Amazed (The Frontmen Edition),” Little Texas' “God Blessed Texas (The Frontmen Edition)” and Restless Heart's “I’ll Still Be Loving You (The Frontmen Edition).”

"I feel like a kid on Christmas morning, waiting to unwrap the presents," notes McDonald. "We’ve been anxiously waiting to unwrap this new Frontmen music and share with the world for awhile now. Thanks to everyone involved for help making this dream a reality."

“It feels quite surreal to finally let the world in on what we have been cooking in the kitchen with The Frontmen," adds Rushlow. "For 14 years playing select shows at home and overseas for our men and women in uniform, it's time to see what the world thinks of us! I am more proud of this record with Larry and Richie than any music I have ever been involved in making. Mickey Jack Cones is a true believer who totally knew where to navigate this new sound and yet still be reminiscent of our past successes. We are so grateful to Jon Loba and his team at BMG Nashville for this opportunity. Let's GO!"

1. It Was Always You

THE FRONTMEN RELEASE LONG AWAITED NEW MUSIC

"Left Their Mark” and "Amazed (The Frontmen Edition)”

Available for Streaming Today

Download or Stream Here 

The Frontmen (Larry Stewart of Restless Heart; Richie McDonald, formerly of Lonestar; and Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas) today released two fresh songs through their new label home, BMG/BBR Music Group. “Left Their Mark” and “Amazed (The Frontmen Edition)” are available now through all digital streaming music providers.

These debut songs from The Frontmen feature McDonald singing lead on “Left Their Mark,” which gives a heartfelt nod to our men and women in uniform, and “Amazed (The Frontmen Edition),” a re-record of Lonestar’s 1999 No. 1 smash hit.

With Memorial Day approaching, McDonald feels the timing is right for the world to hear the red, white and blue drenched, “Left Their Mark.” The song was written by McDonald and hit tunesmith James Dean Hicks.

“It’s crazy to think a song that me and James Dean Hicks wrote over thirteen years ago now has a chance to touch some hearts and leave a mark on the world," says McDonald. "That’s what I love about making music.”

The national television broadcast premiere of "Left Their Mark" happens this Memorial Day weekend on the Tunnel to Towers Dallas Never Forget Concert Country Music Salutes America’s Heroes TV special. Stewart, McDonald and Rushlow join an all-star lineup of Jelly Roll, Tanya Tucker, Ian Munsick, Dennis Quaid, Krista Marie and more, in saluting our nation's military heroes and first responders. The program will air across multiple broadcast partners in the coming months, beginning with this weekend's premiere across major FOX affiliate markets. Click here for broadcast details. Watch the sizzle reel here.

These new songs from The Frontmen are but a taste of what’s to come from the three legendary voices of '90s country. More tunes, all of which will be included on an upcoming album, will be released in the coming months, with Stewart, Rushlow and McDonald tag-teaming lead vocals. Two-time GRAMMY-nominated Mickey Jack Cones is producing the project.

#COUNTRYGIVESBACK - RICKY SKAGGS & STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN TO HOST TORNADO RELIEF BENEFIT CONCERT ON FEB. 20 AT HEARTLAND CHURCH IN PADUCAH, KY.

LINEUP ALSO INCLUDES JASON CRABB, LARRY STEWART AND MORE

ALL PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT MAYFIELD, KY. TORNADO VICTIMS VIA SAMARITAN'S PURSE

Devastated by the damage from the Dec. 10 tornado in Mayfield, Ky., Ricky Skaggs and Steven Curtis Chapman have organized a benefit concert on Sunday, Feb. 20 at 7:00 p.m. (CT) at Heartland Church in Chapman's hometown of Paducah, Ky. Skaggs and Chapman enlisted friends, Jason Crabb, Larry Stewart and more, for the lineup. All proceeds will benefit victims of the tornado via Samaritan's Purse. 

Blue Wolf Capital Partners, The State Group and the family of companies throughout Kentucky (Rick’s Electric, Beltline Electric, Comstock Electric and Delta Services) are pleased to sponsor the Kentucky tornado relief benefit concert. They are committed to helping this region fully recover from the devastation caused by the storms and their thoughts and prayers go out to all who were affected.

“As a boy who was born and raised in Paducah, Ky. (and spent a lot of my childhood in Mayfield), I have been broken-hearted to see the devastation caused by the tornadoes that swept through my home state back in December. I've been praying for the folks back home and have wanted to find a way to encourage them and show them some love. So I reached out to my 'bluegrass big brother' and fellow Kentuckian, Ricky Skaggs, and said, 'let's go play some music and try to raise some money to love on the people there'…and thankfully he agreed! I’m also very grateful to be joined by two other Kentucky brothers, Jason Crabb and Larry Stewart (also from Paducah) for this one night only Kentucky tornado relief benefit, with proceeds going to Samaritan's Purse to help the work that they're doing there for those who have been most devastated and affected by these tornadoes," shared Chapman.

"I’m really glad to be coming back again to help the people of Mayfield, Ky. I came with Franklin Graham and Samaritan’s Purse on Christmas Eve, but I knew I just had to come back. My heart broke when I saw the devastation. This benefit concert will be a great opportunity for the people of Kentucky and the surrounding states to come and help our neighbors that have lost so much. Bring your friends and help all you can, as they really need us right now,” stated Skaggs.

"I am a Kentucky boy, through and through. The moment I heard about the destruction and loss of life from the tornadoes, I went to help. Thankfully, great friends and organizations like Jentezen Franklin, God’s Pit Crew and Samaritan’s Purse jumped right in. And now, my friends – and fellow Kentucky brothers – Steven Curtis Chapman and Ricky Skaggs are pitching in to help even more people through this benefit concert. I sure hope you’ll come out, open up your hearts and join us to make a difference. It’s going to take all of us to rebuild," added Crabb.

“As Kentucky families continue to recover, we are incredibly grateful for the talent and generosity of Steven Curtis Chapman and Ricky Skaggs,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse. “The proceeds of this concert will go toward our ongoing efforts to help tornado victims return home while reminding them that God loves them and they are not forgotten.”

Based in Boone, N.C., Samaritan's Purse responds to the physical and spiritual needs of individuals in crisis situations, especially in locations where few others are working. Led by President and CEO Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse works in more than 100 countries to provide aid to victims of war, disease, disaster, poverty, famine and persecution.
