The Weldon Mills Theatre Friday night's concert presented by Barnburner Promotions went on unknown by the serve storm that had hit the West side of Roanoke Rapids.

The event kicked off at 7:15pm with R.T. Johnson, who is from a little town in eastern NC named Askewville taking the stage.

Johnson got his start singing in church growing up, and then his love for country music grew and he started playing in Bars and Honky Tonks.

Next the headliners, The Frontmen took to the stage. The Frontmen featured the dynamic voices of 90’s country legends: Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Larry Stewart (of Restless Heart) and Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas).

Stewart, Rushlow and McDonald have collectively sold over 30 million records and had over 30 major hits between them.

Powerhouse hits performed by the Frontmen of Country included Restless Heart classics, “The Bluest Eyes in Texas,” “That Rock Won’t Roll,” “I’ll Still Be Loving You” and “Why Does It Have to Be (Wrong or Right). Lonestar smashes such as “Amazed,” “Smile,” and “I’m Already There,” plus Little Texas hits including “God Blessed Texas,” “Amy’s Back in Austin,” and “What Might Have Been.”
