Richie is still performing with the band through the beginning of November. The show was for industry and media to let them listen to their new sound.

I am glad Lonestar has Cody Collins.
He will make a great addition to the band. Ritchie will always be Ritchie.
Just because the band has a new front man doesn’t make it a bad thing.
I think it will be a major improvement.
LOTS OF LOVE AND GOOD LUCK TO LONESTAR.
WELCOME TO THE BAND CODY!!

It seems like they’re making the best out of a difficult situation. I wish them all the luck in the world. Judging by the review, it looks like they’re doing something right. Good luck and good job Lonestar!

But all the people that are leaving rude comments need to stop because they could of just stoped all together but they didn’t because they have a felling that someone was out there for them. So GOOD LUCK AND I LOVE CODY COLLINS, AND ALSO YOU LONESTAR!!!!

I had the wonderful chance to see Lonestar with thier new singer Cody earlier this month @ the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi. And let me tell you…..they were even better than what I remembered them being with Ritchie. Cody is an awsome singer!!! (not to mention he is a wonder sight to look at!!!) I think they made the right choice with Cody. Continue rocking Lonestar & good luck to all of you!!!

I had the pleasure of going to my first Lonestar concert (hopefully the first of many) on 9/6/08 and I loved it! Cody is an amazing singer. I also had the pleasure of meeting him after the show and he is so sweet! I can’t wait for the new album… whenever it finally comes out!

Lonestar is an awesome group… especially with Cody as the lead singer. I have been to concerts over years and years. The shows are much more energetic and they sound wonderful live. I can’t wait to here something new from them on the radio. Don’t get me wrong I enjoyes Richie and the old songs.
