Tommy has already completed the first two days of the promotional swing, appearing on air at 107 MUS The Moose (Grand Rapids)to announce his upcoming headline performance at the Steel Horse Station Concert Series (www.hotrodhd.com) July 20 – 22.

The mood-infused

Row’s Robert K. Oermann comments on the single: “Rugged and loaded with
blue-collar attitude. Tommy sings with extraordinary conviction and
finesse. The track throbs with suppressed energy and the song is an
instant, everyman classic.” Steele’s previous hit “Watching Love Grow” brought him to national attention in Fall of 2009. “Forever 17” followed in May 2010, while“What Kind Of Man” issued in the Fall of that year and remained active through August 2011. While
on hiatus from recording, the compelling entertainer has remained busy
with a touring schedule that included shows opening for Big & Rich
at the Silverdome in Pontiac and CMA Music Festival performances in
Nashville last year.

ABOUT TOMMY STEELE
With a distinctive
and immediately identifiable sound, Steele’s music is a blend of
influences that brings together the edgy musicianship and rocked-out
passion of early Allman Brothers Band and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with the raw,
sparse, lyrical sense of Springsteen. Active in several bands before
going solo in 2006, Steele was used to playing more than 200 dates a
year. The November 2009 release of his first CD, THE LONG HAUL,
generated features in Country Weekly, Music Row and Magazine of Country Music
and fanned an already-burning fire in his heart. He’s shared the stage
with megastars like Leann Rimes, Gretchen Wilson and Dwight Yoakam and
entertained at venues ranging from intimate nightclubs to large
festivals.
