THE FRONTMEN – comprised of three former lead singers Larry Stewart (Restless Heart) Richie McDonald (Lonestar) and Tim Rushlow (Little Texas) – is country music’s hottest new supergroup. The men have already mastered the stage succeeded on radio and nightly take sold-out audiences on a rollercoaster of 90’s nostalgic smash hits then transcend their past hit parade with fresh new and original songs that are unmistakably THE FRONTMEN today!
The group recently put their massive catalog of hits to work including “The Bluest Eyes in Texas” “Amazed” and “God Blessed Texas” on tour with Alabama and kick started the Harley-Davidson crowd in Deadwood South Dakota at the 81st Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. “The thing about the three of us is we are better together than each of us was by ourselves” McDonald said. “The beauty of the show is that people can come and just sit there for two hours and go ‘I sang along with every single song. I loved every one of them.’”
“There is a common thread that runs through the songs we have all recorded over the years that just fits like a glove” Rushlow added. “It is quite powerful and certainly is the soundtrack to all of our lives.”
THE FRONTMEN’s magic formula harkens back to some of the biggest Rock groups of the 60’s and 70’s like The Doobie Brothers Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles where multiple lead singers like Joe Walsh Glenn Frey and Don Henley have separate careers but join to together to create a sum bigger than its parts. They are a new act with a fresh sound but also an arsenal of hits.
Tony Conway manager of Alabama had this comment about the group: “The Frontmen is a group of some of the best voices in the history of Country Music. Larry Tim Richie have each been responsible for some of the greatest songs ever released. When you take their stellar vocals on hits from Restless Heart Little Texas and Lonestar and put them together on one stage you have the originals along with being the best of the best and a new supergroup in the world of country music.”
“We have a great time” Larry Stewart says. “There’s no egos. We just enjoy doing it. It’s easy for us to work together. We know what to expect. It must’ve been meant to be.”
Stewart’s Restless Heart launched in 1984 with their self-titled debut album and went on to collect eight No. 1 hits and sing-along favorites including “The Bluest Eyes in Texas” “I’ll Still Be Loving You” “Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right)” “Wheels” “Fast Movin’ Train” and “A Tender Lie.” They were named Top Vocal Group by the Academy of Country Music in 1989.
