Steve Grand
All American Boy
(Grand Nation)
Mainstream media quickly adopted Steve Grand as the poster boy for gay country music. However, he sounds to me more like a former Drive-Thru Records artist who grew up, expanded his wings and graduated from party songs. Energetic, emotive pop-rock that sometimes makes you want to mull things over and other times will want to get you out on the dance floor, Grand has massive pop appeal and a slickness designed for the FM dial, but with a strong set of pipes and the ability to write intelligent songs. If a band like The Starting Line grew up in the south and listened to Fall Out Boy and Bruno Mars it might sound like this. (Tom Haugen)
