With fiddles and twang, Lonestar to bring fresh sound to Capitol Arts

The country band Lonestar, best known for the hit song “Amazed,” will perform at the Capitol Arts Center at 7:30 p.m., on Friday, Nov. 30. The group will play a collection of past hits and and new music from their latest album, “My Christmas List,” guitarist Michael Britt said.

“My Christmas List” can be purchased at Cracker Barrel or at www.crackerbarrel.com.

Tickets for the concert can be purchased by phone by calling 782-ARTS or by going to the Capitol Arts Center on South Main Street. They are $35 for the main floor and $30 for the balcony. There is also a $3 Capitol Preservation fee per transaction, said Dawn Wesley, managing director of the Capitol Arts Alliance.

This fee is used to build up the Alliance’s endowment fund for renovations and upkeep, Wesley said.

There are still many tickets available, she said.

This will be the first time the 15-year-old Nashville-based band will play in Bowling Green.

It is also the band’s first tour with its new singer, Cody Collins, Britt said.

Collins brings an “edgy, kinda rockin’ fresh” sound to the band, he said; However, Britt assures Lonestar still maintains its original sound.

The former singer, Richie McDonald, left the band earlier this year to pursue solo projects, Britt said.

Morganfield junior Travis Hancock said he thinks Lonestar will put on a good show.

Hancock said he’s always liked Lonestar’s sound.

Wesley said the Alliance is “excited about bringing a big name to the Capitol.” She said they hope this can open up more opportunities for more well-known names to come to Bowling Green.

“They’ve been a hot band recently,” she said. “We hope the college gets word of Lonestar being here.”

Wesley said she hopes this is only the beginning of the younger crowd coming to the Capitol Arts Center.
