In advance of this Saturday night's show, guitarist and founding member, Michael Britt, Tom time or of his busy touring schedule to talk with Hard Rock Reviews. Here is a little history about Britt, followed by the interview audio...
For more than thirty years, Michael Britt has been the quiet force driving Lonestar’s unmistakable sound. While the band’s chart‑topping hits—“Amazed,” “I’m Already There,” “No News”—often spotlight soaring vocals and sweeping emotional arcs, Britt’s guitar has always been the connective tissue. His playing is the pulse beneath the melody, the texture that gives Lonestar its identity, and the spark that keeps the band evolving.
Born in Fort Worth and raised on a steady diet of rock, Britt first picked up a guitar as a teenager and never put it down. After cutting his teeth in Texas bands, including Canyon, he moved to Nashville in 1992 and joined Texassee—the group that soon became Lonestar. When the band signed with BNA Records in 1995, Britt’s blend of country warmth and rock edge helped shape a sound that would carry Lonestar to more than 10 million albums sold and nine No. 1 country singles.
Beyond the stage, Britt has become a respected authority on guitar tone, crafting professional Kemper amp profiles used by musicians around the world. His obsession with sound—every nuance, every shade—has made him not just a guitarist, but a craftsman.
As Lonestar continues touring and releasing new music, Britt remains a grounding presence: steady, sharp, and endlessly curious. In this conversation, he reflects on the band’s journey, the craft of guitar tone, and the moments that still give him chills.
MICHAEL BRITT INTERVIEW...
For more than three decades, Michael Britt has been the steady, expressive guitar voice behind Lonestar’s biggest moments—from the early honky‑tonk energy of “No News” to the sweeping emotional power of “Amazed.” His playing has shaped the band’s identity, and his dedication to tone, craft, and evolution has kept Lonestar vibrant across generations. As the band continues touring and recording, Britt remains a driving creative force. Today, he sits down to talk about the journey, the music, and the stories behind the strings.
