Following his self-funded, viral music video “All-American Boy,” OUT100 Honoree Steve Grand is set to release his first album on March 24th, which he successfully raised over $325,000 for on Kickstarter (the 3rd most funded music project in Kickstarter history!).
Grand is an openly gay singer who’s certainly country-inspired, but does not self-identify as a country artist. “Music is subjective,” Grand says, “The lines of life are blurring. We are seeing that in music as in sexuality and gender identity...There’s nothing different about my music just because I’m gay. I sing about things that I go through, but they are things that we all go through, regardless of sexual orientation.”
If you funded his kick-starter campaign you'll get the digital version of the album to download on February 27th.
March 24th is the physical release.
From the kickstarter email:
"I¹m going to start with the long anticipated album release date. As I have said many times before,I never could have foreseen what a journey putting this album out into the world was going to be. As a result, my delivery date estimates have been off. This time, I wanted to be 100% sure when I tell you that my team, my distribution company, my marketing company and I agree that NOTHING will change the dates I¹m giving you today! On February 27th, all of you who pledged $10 or more will be receiving a download link to get your digital copy of the album, almost a full month before the rest of the world will have access to the album. The release date for the general public will be in late March"
