All-American Boy

Anyone heard of Steve Grand? He's a singer/songwriter from Chicago who is openly gay and had a viral hit last summer with the music video for his song, "All-American Boy." Since then he has released two more songs, including the extremely catchy "Stay." The media outlets tend to label him country, but I don't really think of him that way. Oh, and he is extremely attractive (he's a former underwear model). The most remarkable thing is that he's no novelty act . . . his songs are actually really good!



He's been running a Kickstarter campaign for the last month to fund his debut album. It's the first crowd-funding campaign that I have contributed to. Amazingly, he met his $80K goal in just 17 hours. Now he's up to more than $200K. It's one of the most successful music campaigns that Kickstarter has done. The campaign closes on Sunday, so if you'd like to contribute, be sure to do so ASAP!

  1. I agreed, he's delicious eye candy but talented too. We need more examples like this to help counter the stereotypes.
