Lonestar, a premier national recording country music band is coming to Connecticut on August 23.

The group, known for hits such as “Amazed”, “I’m Already There” and “My Front Porch Looking In” is scheduled to perform at the Farmington Polo Grounds in Farmington, 152 Town Farm Road, as part of the 2014 Dream Ride Experience Weekend.

A limited number of concert tickets are said to be available at $30 each. All seating will be lawn seating. Parking cost is $5. Gates open about 4 p.m. and the concert is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Dream Ride is one of the biggest, if not the biggest of all annual multi-state charity rides. With start points at various Harley-Davidson dealerships, it brings together vehicles of many kinds to make the Dream Ride benefiting Special Olympics and the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics.

Proceeds from the Lonestar concert will also go to benefit both Special Olympics and the Law Enforcement Torch Run program.

According to a press release from the town of Farmington, drivers should expect traffic delays and some road closures during the Dream Ride weekend – August 22 – 24, especially on concert night.

For those fortunate enough to get tickets – plan to chill out en route and prepare to be “Amazed” during what promises to be a great summer evening of entertainment for a good cause!
