NASHVILLE, Tenn. (January 22, 2018) – Trio veteran hit-makers, The Frontmen, featuring Larry Stewart of Restless Heart, Tim Rushlow, formerly of Little Texas and Richie McDonald of Lonestar have independently released their debut single “If It Wasn’t For The Radio” and
announced an accompanying tour beginning February 3. The tour will
kickoff in Mississippi and visit Oklahoma, Arizona, Minnesota and Nevada
with more stops being added through the Spring. Fans can listen to the
single on Spotify and Apple Music and purchase it on iTunes or Amazon.

“If It Wasn’t For The Radio” was
written by Kellys Collins, Austin Cunningham and David Fenley and was
produced by Brent Rader of Brent Rader Productions. With a tip of the
hat to radio opening the doors to their own successful careers, these
individual talents combine their unique voices to create a magical blend
of harmonies and heartfelt sentiment that is sure to touch the hearts
of country fans everywhere. The song was featured in an exclusive first listen byBillboard.

“To
find a song like this that speaks to who we are, why we do what we do
and why we’re here, with honesty and a huge dose of real life, is
incredibly humbling and moving!” states Larry Stewart. “At this moment
in time, we couldn’t have found a more perfect song for Richie, Tim and
myself to sink our hearts into. Because I do not believe we would be
where we are today, if it wasn’t for the radio. Truly a gift!”

“Over the past few years I’ve been honored to share the stage with Larry
Stewart and Tim Rushlow as we perform our hit songs from our respective
bands, having the opportunity to record a song like ‘If It Wasn’t For
The Radio’ with these artists takes it to another level.” Richie
McDonald states. “This song was perfect for The Frontmen to record, with
each of us singing a verse and a chorus and lending three part
harmonies just sends it over the top. We all three relate to this song
and the story that it tells, I think that’s what makes it so special”

“The Frontmen are definitely special. There is a common thread that runs
through us and our catalog of songs and I am honored to share the stage
with these two amazing singers,” says Tim Rushlow. “From multiple
global tours performing for our military in Japan, Afghanistan, Spain,
Greece, Kuwait, Bahrain, Germany, Italy, Cuba, Africa and on several
aircraft carriers in the Persian Gulf – to shows across America for our
fans from Kansas City, to Cerritos, California to Gulfport, Mississippi –
it is always humbling when the people sing our songs back to us, never
missing a lyric. That is simply because radio has embraced us and the
music we have all made over the years. Radio is why we’ve had these
amazing careers. So, it is entirely fitting that we finally get to
record a great song from the heart and give a nod of thanks in their
direction.”

Radio programmers are excited about the new single with veterans weighing in with praise for the single:

“Take three of the greatest voices in country music, add them to a
brilliantly written song, sprinkle in some glorious harmony, and you get
“If It Wasn’t For The Radio.” Don’t overthink it, just PLAY IT!” states
Tom Baldrica, Corporate Country Brand Strategist / Midwest
Communications

“Like a well-blended cocktail, using only the finest ingredients, The
Frontmen deliver a smooth and tasty groove with an infectious hook, and a
real country song. ‘”If It Wasn’t For The Radio”’ is what country
listeners are starving for and they deserve to hear this awesome tune!
“says Chuck Reeves, Program Director. KQBL 101.9 The Bull, Boise
