Steve Grand releases new video, raises over $100k overnight for debut CD

Steve Grand in his new music video "Back To California"

"All-American Boy" singer Steve Grand appeared on Larry King Now this week to talk about his upcoming debut album and the Kickstarter campaign that funded it.

He launched the campaign just yesterday with hopes to raise $81,000 before March 30. Instead, he has raised over $116,000 in one day:

Recording and producing an album can be an expensive undertaking. Record companies often spend hundreds of thousands of dollars — millions for the bigger artists — producing and promoting an album.

My goal is $81,000. That will allow me just enough to finish my record, create album art, package it, and film my next music video, which I plan to release on the same day as the album.

If we can raise this money together, you can count on my album being out sometime in May. And then I’ll see you on tour!

Grand says excess funds will be used for radio promotion and marketing.

I really like this guy since he released his smash, uber-viral music video "All-American Boy."

Go Steve Grand!
