Country music has a new voice drawing media attention for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n

Following the Internet frenzy caused by his brave and personal debut single, \u201cAll-American Boy<\/strong>\u201d, out country artist Steve Grand<\/strong> shows no signs of slowing down with a recent intimate performance at Austin Pride<\/strong> and the release of his second official single and music video, \u201cStay<\/strong>\u201d. <\/p>\n

Grand<\/strong> is reminiscing on a past love with his new single and delivering an incredible vocal performance in the process. \u201cStay with me all summer, stay with me under the covers, stay with me and be my lover<\/strong>,\u201d the country artist sings to the man who has captured his heart from the season. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was seeing this one guy. Shortly after I wrote the song, he broke up with me,\u201d Grand<\/strong> says. \u201cA few months later, the inspiration came back. I was reflecting on the love from the summer I lost in the fall.\u201d<\/p>\n

The music video, released on Friday, showcases Grand<\/strong>\u2019s charming good looks and carefree summer fun with laughter with friends, a swim in Lake Michigan, BBQs and out of control foods fights. There are no roaring lions, no over-the-top costume changes or twerking Disney stars, just a touching story of wondering when the love was lost. <\/p>\n

\u201cSummer is about freedom. I tried to capture that in the video. It\u2019s a reawakening, it\u2019s about summer love, about being young and free,\u201d Grand<\/strong> says. <\/p>\n

With high production quality, a fun in the sun vibe and a shirtless Grand<\/strong>, the music video is one the artist says he is very happy with. He calls himself a \u201ccreatively driven person\u201d and the visual is something he truly believes in, done for his fans. It carries a feeling of triumph. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe video for \u2018Stay<\/strong>\u2019 was funded 100 percent by the contributions from \u2018All-American Boy<\/strong>\u2019,\u201d he says. \u201cThis has all been done because of the support of my fans.”<\/p>\n

A day after the video\u2019s release, Grand<\/strong> traveled to Austin, Texas for a four-song, intimate performance at the annual Pride festival where fans were treated to renditions of \u201cAll-American Boy<\/strong>\u201d, \u201cStay<\/strong>\u201d, a brand new track titled \u201cGoodbye To Your Man<\/strong>\u201d and a cover of Lady Gaga<\/strong>\u2019s \u201cYou and I<\/strong>\u201d, a song Grand<\/strong> says has inspired his career. <\/p>\n

Grand<\/strong> is now planning more new music with the release of a possible EP and album in the near future. With two successful singles released thus far, and the premiere of new material, the country artist is moving forward with his love for music, but no set release date on any projects has been announced.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am always working on new music and I\u2019m constantly changing my mind,\u201d Grand<\/strong> says. “Right now I work for the people supporting me.”<\/p>\n

Watch the new video for \u201cStay<\/strong>\u201d and try not to fall absolutely in love with it. <\/p>\n
