The band, which has been together more than 25 years, consists of four members, Richie McDonald, Michael Britt, Keech Rainwater and Dean Sams. Together they have sold more than 10 million records and have 10 number 1 hits, and they recently released a new album titledNever Enders.”

Tractor Supply, what they are all about is what we are all about,” said Sams while addressing the crowd. “[Their sponsorship] was a perfect fit.”

Lonestar had many fans in town who braved the 105-degree heat as they eagerly waited for the show to begin.

Sherry Hartman, a Havasu local, even took the day off work so she would be able to see them perform.

“I’m a diehard country fan,” said Thomas. “I was so excited, I had to look it up a few times to make sure it was actually happening, I couldn’t believe it!”

Lonestar performed a medley of their hits, such as “Amazed” and “Mr. Mom,” along with a few covers. Afterward they took part in a meet and greet in the store where they posed for pictures with fans. From here, the band will be traveling to Turlock, Calif., where they will be performing at the Stanislaus County Fair.
