Taste of Country exclusively premiered a first listen to “Not So Silent Night,” which "finds the musicians getting their retro groove on with a swinging jazz vibe, with Vassar and Lonestar singer Richie McDonald trading vocals to describe a fun holiday party" (Sterling Whitaker). Fans can look forward to the forthcoming music video starring Vassar and Lonestar.

“After years of being friends with Phil and being a fan of his talent as well, we are truly excited to go on this Christmas tour and share the stage with him," expressed Lonestar. "Fans should get ready for a lot of laughs, great music and of course a 'Not So Silent Night!'"

Lonestar, comprised of Richie McDonald, Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater and Dean Sams, released their first Christmas album, This Christmas Time, in 2000. The ACM and CMA award-winning group recorded 11 songs for the Dan Huff produced project, which featured new material such as the title track co-written by Sams and the touching “Reason For The Season” co-written by McDonald.

"I've known these guys forever, and we're going to have a blast on the road performing for our fans. It's even more meaningful that we're getting into the Christmas spirit and giving back to The Salvation Army - that's what it's all about," shared Vassar.

Vassar, who has headlined Christmas tours since 2009, released his first Christmas album, Noel, in 2011. The ten-track collection, co-produced by Vassar and Dane Bryan, showcases four of the ACM award-winning and ASCAP Songwriter of the Year’s original songs, including the humorous “Santa’s Gone Hollywood” and “Big Ol’ Texas Christmas,” a duet with Asleep at the Wheel’s Ray Benson. Last Christmas season, he and Kellie Pickler headlined a sold-out holiday tour.

The Chesapeake Jubilee may not have had the weather on its side this year, but there was no shortage of entertainment! Crowds gathered in the rain to watch the legendary group Lonestar perform on Sunday afternoon.

The band shared details from their latest album ‘Never Enders,‘ including where it it was recorded and the inspirational motivation behind the video shoot. Dean Sams gets candid with a hilarious story of how the band pranked country mega star Brad Paisley and tons more.  Click here to see what they said!

Just a week after the release of their critically acclaimed new album Never Enders, Lonestar has released the music video for the title track and current single exclusively on THE BOOT. Impacting Country radio now, NEVER ENDERS was penned by Richie McDonald, Deans Sams and songwriting veteran Marv Green- who was a co-writer on the band’s mega-hit “Amazed.” 

The boys headed just south of Nashville for the music video shoot where they transformed the Shelbyville Municipal Airport’s runway into a set. Performance   scenes were shot directly on the runway with Luminary Creative’s video director Jacob Moyer at the helm.

Never Ender’s celebrates the groups past 24 years of success while optimistically looking ahead to whatever the future may bring. In a recent interview with The Rowdy, Michael Britt says: "Never Enders touches on a lot of emotions and brings them to surface. It's about not giving up and moving forward.” See more from their interview HERE.
