If it seems like years since out musician Steve Grand first landed on your radar, you’re not alone. “I swear I feel like I’ve been working on this album for 12 years,” the country singer says with a laugh in a new EPK video to promote All-American Boy, his debut album due March 24. For the record, it’s been just over a year and a half since his perfect pecs handsome face uplifting video for the single “All-American Boy” made him an internet sensation.
‘What really made a difference for me was the people that would write in and some of these people would tell me their life stories or stories of their All-American boys that got away. That made me realize this is why I did this — to connect people and to connect with people.” Grand recalls receiving thousands of letters from gay people who thanked him for them feel less alone in the world.
While some cynics think it’s no longer a big deal to come out as gay at the start of a burgeoning music career, Grand disagrees.
“You know who cares are the kids that are really struggling with this,” he says in the video, adding “Or the kids who feel like they would still rather be dead than live life as a gay person. I’m thinking about them all the time while I’m doing these things.”
How about we take this to the next level?

I will never understand why queers have such a hard-on for this guy. His voice isn’t all that great and is average looking.

@FD: Seriously? I wish my voice was as not that great and my looks were so average. The man has a solid performance voice and is very handsome. He also comes across as a rather sweet guy.

Lol I didn’t even know who he was.
I had to look him up… he’s average looking not really my type…his voice is good though.

His “singing career” is based on his well above average looks and not his average (at best) singing voice.

@MacAdvisor: I can’t say about your voice but you look great, very handsome! 😉

If *I* had a chance to rest my head on Steve Grand, it wouldn’t be his shoulder!

I feel less alone already, knowing there’re other rancorous gay commentators.

Mmmm, well, until those young lonely gay people start going to gay venues or online where they will find they will mostly get ignored by the pretty A-list boys who look like Steve Grand.

He’s no Willie Nelson.
D P
Yeah, can you imagine Willie Nelson filling out those speedos in a photo shoot?
Nah, give me Steve Grand!

@D P: Vapid gay is vapid.

How many of you who say his voice is average has raised over $300,000 from prefect strangers on Kickstarter for your upcoming CD. I supported Steve Grand on Kickstarter and have already preordered 2 copies of his CD. I do not like Country Music but I like Steve Grands Misic. Plus he is a Great role Model for Gay Kids!

Why are there so many damn negative nancys on here? What’s not to absolutely love and adore about this kid a.) pursuing his dreams, and b.) hoping he’s doing a little bit of good in the world while simultaneously pursuing his dreams? Do you all hate yourselves so much that you can’t stand happiness or joy in this world? Sorry your mama didn’t hug you enough as a child. Take it somewhere else, please.
