NASHVILLE, TN. (BNA Records/ www.lonestar.mu) -
Lonestar enters rehearsals this week for their new acoustic 'Pickin' On The Porch' tour set to launch this Saturday, November 20th in Joliet , Illinois.
The 11-city holiday tour, featuring an updated, special holiday stage design and new set list will include music from the platinum recording group's record breaking career that recently included their single, 'Mr. Mom,' giving the group 15 weeks at No 1 this decade which is more then any other country group in history.
The group's current single 'Mr. Mom,' from their latest album Let's Be Us Again, holds the No 1 spot on R&R and Billboard's Hot Country Singles Chart this week. The song, co-written by lead singer Richie McDonald will be featured along with many of the group's other hits.
After the overwhelming success of last year's 'Acoustic On The Front Porch' tour, the group decided to return to the stage in much the same setting, showcasing fan favorites including several career No 1 singles 'I'm Already There,' 'No News,' 'Amazed,' 'My Front Porch Looking In' and many more. The festive holiday set will feature special performances of a few seasonal songs from their holiday album This Christmas Time including, 'Santa Claus Is Coming To Town' and 'Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas.'
This millennium has been good to Lonestar thus far. They currently hold the title for the most No 1 hits this decade (6) more then any other country group including the Dixie Chicks, Rascal Flatts and Diamond Rio. 'Mr. Mom,' the band's 10th career No 1, pushed cumulative sales to soar over 10 � million units sold.
