(February 26, 2018) – A Live@CMA performance gathered industry VIPs and media shining the spotlight on a trio of veteran hit-makers; The Frontmen, featuring Larry Stewart of Restless Heart, Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas and Richie McDonald of Lonestar. Each performed a brief medley of some of their respective hits and together they combined their voices and talents for the debut Nashville performance of the recently released single “If It Wasn’t For The Radio,” written by Kellys Collins, Austin Cunningham and David Fenley.

“We heard a song that we could relate to with three verses and choruses that were tailor-made for our voices, but it was the message of the song that really resonated with us,” states McDonald.
With a collective 30 million records sold and over 50 top 40 hits between them, The Frontmen have been performing shows for our military at bases and on aircraft carriers around the globe for the past eight years while expanding their brand with shows for corporate events and at casinos and fairs across America.
