Mainland Music Hall

Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Larry Stewart (formerly of Restless Heart), and Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas)
With 30 No. 1 hits and 30 million albums sold, THE FRONTMEN are the voices behind the soundtrack of Friday night honkytonks, first kisses, and heartbreaks for over three decades. Fans may not always know their name, but they know every word to their songs.
The supergroup unites three powerhouse lead singers—Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Larry Stewart (of Restless Heart), and Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas). Together, they deliver a high-energy show of 90s country anthems like “Amazed,” “The Bluest Eyes in Texas,” and “God Blessed Texas”—alongside fresh new music that defines THE FRONTMEN today.
They’ve shared the stage with Alabama, rocked the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, and wowed audiences with harmonies reminiscent of groups like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. As manager Tony Conway says, “When you take their stellar vocals and put them together on one stage, you have the best of the best.”
Each singer brings an impressive legacy: Restless Heart’s eight No. 1 hits, Little Texas’ ACM-winning classics, and Lonestar’s nine chart-toppers including “Amazed”—ACM Song of the Year and one of country’s biggest hits ever.
Born out of a decade-long idea and solidified after the pandemic, THE FRONTMEN turned their side project into their main stage. In 2023 they signed with BBR Music Group / BMG Nashville, releasing their self-titled debut in 2024, produced by GRAMMY nominee Mickey Jack Cones. The album blends original songs with reimagined versions of their greatest hits.
As McDonald puts it: “The beauty of the show is people can sit for two hours and say, ‘I sang along with every song.’” With undeniable chemistry, timeless hits, and new music, THE FRONTMEN are country’s hottest supergroup—better together than ever.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/134080/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

ROCO concludes its Connections Series and its 21st season with Sense of Mind—a bold exploration of how music and the brain intertwine. Presented first at ARTECHOUSE Houston, the performance pairs ROCO musicians with advanced technology, translating real-time neural activity into immersive visuals that react to the sound waves emitted by the musical instruments.
Designed in partnership with neuroscientists and digital artists, Sense of Mind invites audiences to consider how music moves us emotionally and how we process it biologically. The concert features guest pianist Mei Rui (Director of Music in Medicine at MD Anderson Cancer Center) and a newly commissioned piece by Anthony Brandt, along with visuals created by animator/illustrator Badie Khaleghian.
