Lonestar Set to Host a Very Special Pajama Party

Putting the all-male group Lonestar in a room full of pajama-clad women might sound a bit scandalous, but it's for all for a good cause. The award-winning quartet will perform Friday (Oct. 5) for 94.9 FM Star Country's 9th Annual Pajama Jam in Roanoke, Va., with all the proceeds benefiting breast cancer research. The show, held in honor of October's designation as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, sold out in one hour, raising $50,000 for the American Cancer Society.

"We're really looking forward to this show," says lead guitarist Michael Britt. "Just about everyone knows someone affected by cancer and this has to stop! We're happy 94.9 Star Country has asked us to be a part of their efforts and do our part for a better, healthier tomorrow."

The radio station, which has previously hosted Little Big Town, Jake Owen, Clay Walker and others for the benefit, is thrilled to have Lonestar headline the event. "It's as if they never left," program director Brett Sharp notes. "Lonestar's fan base is as ravenous as ever. With them as our headliner, we sold out the Pajama Jam in less than one hour. Nine hundred screaming, pajama clad ladies can't be wrong. Thank you Lonestar for helping the American Cancer Society, for helping us spread the word about getting mammograms, and for being such a great partner with 94.9 Star Country."

Lonestar will be joined by Randy Houser and The Farm for the sold-out concert. The show will kick off a series of concerts for the band, as they juggle time on the road with putting the finishing touches on their new album, scheduled for release in early 2013.
