About the Band

Not since Garth Brooks jumped off the stage and into peoples’ hearts has the country scene delivered such riveting entertainment as Southeastern Michigan’s Alan Turner and his Steel Horse Band. His connection with his fans makes him stand out from the rest, and his rugged handsome looks, and rich, baritone vocals have often had him touted as “Tim McGraw with a Toby Keith attitude.”

Since September of 2007, Alan and the boys have been thrilling crowds with their action packed performances! From jumping off the stage to line dance with everyone on the dance floor, to singing to fans throughout the crowd, you definitely do not want to miss a show! Accompanied by some of the finest talent this side of Nashville, the Steel Horse Band consists of lead guitarist J.T. Munroe, Randy Lopez on bass guitar, Billy Lee on keyboards and drummer Dave Piotrowski. Combined with Alan’s voice, they truly have made their mark as a band to be reckoned with. Heather Gray, also joins the boys on stage now and then, to add an angelic mix to many of the songs on their roster.

2009 was an astounding year for the band with a debut single, The Cowboy Code, gaining attention far and wide on local radio, as well as across the country and on internet radio. “We received a lot of feedback and made a lot of friends with military personnel who heard all over the world thanks to our friends at HooahRadio.com” Alan adds.

Along with their debut single, they connected with Robin Cursi, executive producer with Lili Claire Communications, leading to a partnership and management deal carrying them well into 2010 and onward. Lili Claire Communications is the entertainment division of the Lili Claire Foundation, which provides help to special needs children and their families in the USA and abroad. This union has sparked two projects, the first being the band’s debut music video release of their second single “Bull Riding Babe” shot on location at one of Michigan’s premier country hotspots, Coyote Joe’s. The hard work and 30 hour shoot schedule over just two days, has created incredible exposure for the band. The video is now in rotation on CMT. Currently, “Bull Riding Babe” has spent 26 weeks in the top 10 on the MTV partnered OurStage.com’s Independent Country Video Charts. 22 of those weeks, have been in the #1 position (as of April 30, 2011).

The second project resulting from the management deal, was writing and recording “Everyone’s A Miracle (Lili’s Song)” to tell the Lili Claire story, and has turned out to be one of Alan and the band’s best works to date. The making of that video was the major project of summer 2010, and its debut locally and nationally occurred in October of 2010 in Henderson, Nevada at the Nevada Wild Fest. This was the first time Henderson hosted a country music festival, and it’s now an annual event slated in the month of October, at the Henderson Pavilion. Along with media visits, and press releases for the new single, Alan had the honor of opening for the likes of Kenny Rogers, Montgomery Gentry, Lee Brice, Glen Campbell, and the Eli Young Band.

Along with video release for “Everyone’s a Miracle (Lili’s Song)” in October 2010, the band also released their debut CD “Behind The Eight Ball” to rave reviews. So much so that both videos and album received 2011 Detroit Music Award nominations. Alan and the band received a total of 6 nominations a distinguished achievement that they are very proud of. They’re hard work is paying off.

Playing over 134 performances last year alone, there is no sign of slowing down for 2011! Alan Turner and the Steel Horse Band are always playing throughout Michigan at various events and festivals, and have added Florida, San Diego, and Nevada again in the fall. With a Canadian tour of Southwestern Ontario in the works, this is one cowboy you don’t want to miss!
