Steve “All-American Boy” Grand Wants To Make A Difference

In the EPK for his debut album, All-American Boy, out singer/songwriter Steve Grand talks on what the past year and a half has been like since he became an internet sensation with his first music video of the same name (3.8 million views at this writing).

In the video below, Grand dismisses the idea that artists coming out isn’t as important as it once was saying, ““You know who cares are the kids that are really struggling with this. 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.”

Grand’s album is scheduled to drop March 24.

New Music Video: Tom Goss “What We’ve Found”

The newest music video from Randy Report favorite Tom Goss – “What We’ve Found” from his latest album Wait.

Love Tom, his music videos and his very unique sense of humor. His previous videos have tackled DADT, marriage equality, and have been featured in Upworthy, HuffingtonPost, Univision, The Advocate, Out, LOGO, Towleroad and After Elton.

His music single and video, “Illuminate The Dark” stars injured war hero turned underwear model Alex Minsky and challenges the way we see beauty.

2014’s dance/pop single “Bears” became an instant cult hit, garnering attention worldwide.

Today he serves up some light, silly fun to make us smile.

Tom’s a touring machine, so check out his official website for upcoming tour dates.

Steve Grand Talks On His Naked Lake Superior Dunk For ALS

Last summer, everyone on the planet was taking part in the “ALS Ice Bucket Challenge” to raise funds for ALS research. Definitely a good cause, and the trend gave us all some entertaining videos.

Not least of which was out singer/songwriter Steve Grand’s take of the challenge which involved his stripping down to birthday suit and jumping in Lake Superior after a concert.

“We did some shots before the show, and we were feeling good,” he recalls. “I wanted to do [the challenge] in a creative way, so I said ‘I’m just gonna get naked and jump in this lake! It was just a, fun goofy time.”

The trend may have gone away, but you can still donate to ALS by clicking here.

Steve Grand’s long awaited debut CD All-American Boy drops March 24th.

In accepting one of his many awards of the evening, Smith said “Before I made this record I was doing everything to try and get my music heard. I tried to lose weight and I was making awful music. It was only until I started to be myself that the music started to flow and people started to listen.”

Justin Utley – “Funny How Time Flies”

Randy Report favorite Justin Utley makes a fun point posting this pic on his Facebook page with the text – “..and I’m still wearing a white shirt and tie.. Kinda.”

Uber-talented singer/songwriter Utley has famously spoken out about the negativity he experienced at the hand of the Mormon Church growing up in Utah. Thus, the”white shirt and tie” comment.

I have to say, while he’s always been a good looking guy, the more recent pic on the right is serious heat 🙂

Make sure you check out Justin’s Facebook page here, and his music on his official website here.

Great guy, terrific talent.  AND, easy on the eyes.
