Country quartet Lonestar is making plans to spend much of the spring and summer touring the US as the group continues to support last fall's "Coming Home."
The band is scheduled to get things started in the South early next month, and has booked a handful of shows in each of the coming months through September. Details are included below.
Released last September, "Coming Home," the follow-up to 2004's "Let's Be Us Again." The band has said it feels the new set is its most definitive studio collection to date.
"I think we finally have a grasp of what we want to say and how we want to say it," keyboardist Dean Sams said in a press release. [Group frontman] Richie [McDonald] has always been one of the keys to our success--with his voice, and pen, and although with this record it wasn't a conscious effort for us to write everything, it's pretty cool that all but one of the songs was written or co-written by members of the band. I think it shows strength, unity and growth."
"Coming Home" features the cut "Doghouse," which the group delivered to radio stations on Monday (3/27).
