Legacy of Pure Prairie League

Lonestar is an American country music band from Nashville, Tennessee. The band consists of Drew Womack, Michael Britt, Dean Sams, and Keech Rainwater (drums). Both Britt and Rainwater formerly recorded in the band Canyon. Britt, Sams, and Rainwater co-founded Lonestar in 1992 with original lead vocalist Richie McDonald and bass guitarist John Rich. Rich was fired from the band in 1998 and went on to join Big Kenny as one-half of the duo Big & Rich. Since his departure, Lonestar has relied alternatingly on session and touring musicians for bass guitar accompaniment. McDonald quit the band in 2007 to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by former McAlyster vocalist Cody Collins before returning in 2011. After McDonald quit a second time in 2021 to join the Frontmen, he was replaced by Womack, formerly the lead singer of Sons of the Desert.
