Hoptown Hopfest: Lonestar

On Saturday, November 25th, 2023 country music band, Lonestar, will take the stage for an unforgettable evening during Hopfest in effort to raise funds for our theatre. Together, we’ve raised almost $100,000 over the last 9 years of Hoptown Holiday Hopfest and we hope that you will continue to support this event. Throughout the years, Lonestar has charted over twenty singles on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, and this includes nine hits ranking No. 1. Some of the most popular Lonestar songs are “What About Now,” “My Front Porch Looking In,” and “Come Cryin’ to Me.” The band’s signature track, “Amazed,” even spent nine weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart during the summer of 1999 and, at the same time, climbed to the top of Billboard’s Hot 100. This made Lonestar band the first country act to achieve such a feat since Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream” in 1983. The song even helped the band earn its first nominations from Country Music Association in the categories of Single of the Year and Group of the Year.
