Artist Information
They have 30 No. 1 hits, have sold 30 million albums and are
the soundtrack to every Friday night honkytonk, first kiss and
broken heart for the last 30 years. Fans sing the words to every
song in every set – and while many people have yet to know
their name, just about everybody can sing their songs.
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 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.
During periods of downtime over the years, and THE
FRONTMEN organically built a concept they've been working
toward for more than a decade. McDonald and Stewart first
connected when they played a radio show in Louisiana.
McDonald broached the idea with Stewart: three lead singers,
one band and nothing but hits. Rushlow joined soon after, and
the trio went on an extended international tour of military bases.
The soldiers’ reaction affirmed what they already thought –
people want to hear their songs.”
THE FRONTMEN played sporadic shows together over the
years while each continued with their various bands. When the
pandemic struck, McDonald reevaluated how he wanted to
spend his time. Stewart had recently stepped away from Restless
Heart, and Rushlow shifted focus to THE FRONTMEN. With
that, their side project became their main gig.
In 2023, THE FRONTMEN signed a major record deal with
BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville. Stewart, McDonald and
Rushlow, all major hit songwriters, released their debut album,
THE FRONTMEN, in early 2024 with multi-genre musical
heavyweight producer Mickey Jack Cones helming the project.
The Frontmen’s debut self-titled album 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.
With brand new fresh music and a combined massive catalog of
hits, and THE FRONTMEN are off to the races… again!
