While the idea that Steve Grand is the “first gay male country artist” is maybe a bit exaggerated, there haven’t been any gay male country stars of mega proportions… who are out, anyway.

But there’s something about Steve and it’s not just that positively amazing body, his Tom Welling looks or his voice (although those are all great), it’s that he decided to go all in and come out. He stated that “the world does not see change until it sees honesty. I am taking a risk here in many ways, but really there is no choice but to be brave. To not tell this story is to let my soul die. It is all I believe in. It is all I hold dear. We have all longed for someone we can never have… we all have felt that ache for our ‎All American boy.

Or in my case, Canadian.. but yeah… everyone can relate to this story in one way or another.

But now… let’s get to the love interest… the guy in the video he falls for so hard… correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t that former Fratmen.TV and Fratpad alumnus Taylor? Who… well, is kinda used to kissing guys from time to time?

Steve wrote, performed and produced the song and video himself. This is about as independent as you get, so let’s hope we get to see a LOT more from him in the future…

The download version of All American Boy is available here as a “name your price” purchase. Don’t be cheap… support him and hopefully we’ll get more videos and music from him.
