Lonestar is an American country music group consisting of Richie McDonald (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Michael Britt (lead guitar, background vocals), Dean Sams (keyboards, background vocals), and Keech Rainwater (drums). Before the group's foundation in 1992, both Rainwater and Britt were members of the group Canyon. John Rich (bass guitar, lead and background vocals) was a member of Lonestar until he departed in 1998, and went on to become one-half of the duo Big & Rich. McDonald exited the band in 2007 to record as a solo artist; Cody Collins, formerly of the band McAlyster, replaced McDonald until he returned in 2011. - Source: Wikipedia
