The singer/underwear designer Steve Grand has been growing his tash out and flexing his guns and we’re loving the vibe.
Although he’s previously suggested that he looks like the guy on the side of Pringle’s can, we actually think he’s rocking a bit of a 70’s Castro-gay look and we’re wholly on board with this development.
The singer recently showed off his lockdown work out routine on his Instagram stories using nothing but some soda water bottles – and, of course, that all-important piece of gym equipment, the jockstrap.
As we’re all in lockdown right now, and all gym and fitness spaces have been shuttered by governments in order to “flatten the curve” of the spread of COVID-19, millions of us are trying to work out how to keep fit, especially as in some countries access to outside space has now been severely restricted.
Steve Grand, the singer turned underwear and swimwear designer has thought up a genius way to keep fit – and you don’t need anything but some bottles of liquid.
Practising safe social distancing, Steve appeared to be alone in his home as he worked out in front of his fans, doing multiple bicep curls with the bottles of soda water.
The star said, “are you guys ready we’re doing some quarantine soda water arm curls for biceps today… and yes I’m in my charcoal grand axis jockstrap… that I designed”.
Ever thoughtful, Steve placed a mirror perfectly behind him so that his viewers could get a sneaky peak at his ass…ets.
How does one celebrate Independence Day these days?
Well if you’re Steve Grand you do it wearing basically nothing. The All American Boy singer uploaded a number photos sporting probably the world’s smallest undies.
Steve was accompanied by some friends whilst he’s currently staying and performing in P-Town. He’s currently performing every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Provincetown Art House Theatre.
American singer Steve Grand isn’t just famous for his music, but also for his choice of clothing (or apparent lack thereof). This weekend he reminded his fanbase that he can totally pull off lime green – a feat that most could only dream. Within 24 hours the picture had attracted 12,600 likes and over 240 comments… most of which read… “Steve Grand marry me”.
As you can see there really isn’t much to it – but there’s certainly more there than the costume he wore for Broadway Bares last month in which we basically wore a jock strap – which came off. You can see it all here.
One fan commenting that the performance by Steve Grand and his two dancers was “the gayest thing” he had ever scene, whilst others were far more concerned being able to concentrate on anything other than what was under that jockstrap.
The gay singer was taking part in the Broadway Bares: ManuSTRIPT hosted in San Francisco, which ran concurrently with its New York City sister show Broadway Bares: Strip U.
The show was raising funds for HIV service via REAF in SF and through Broadway Cares in New York.
Lately, there’s been a boom in music from LGBT artists and as acceptance of gay people grows and grows worldwide we look to see who are the names you need to be looking out for in 2017.

Surprisingly Sam Smith, despite his huge worldwide success, has actually only released one album and okay it is a whopper having shipped over 6.5 million units, but that was in 2014. So will Sam be releasing new music in 2017? The star revealed that he was going deeper than ever for the next one, saying, “Every day I’m having little epiphanies and changes and loving it. But all I can say is that I’m putting my heart even more out on the (expletive) line. I’m going even deeper. I can’t believe I’m even doing it, but I’m going even deeper.”

Gay singer-songwriter Steve Grand who became a star overnight last year when his first video went viral, stopped by vlogger Davey Wavey’s house to do some real musical promotion for his new album.
So far a lot of the promotion that he receives is not for his music, but for his looks, so he wanted this to be different. It was until Davey literally got his hands on him.
It’s a year ago today that Steve Grand made history with his All American Boy single, making him the first, openly gay Country singer in the US.
Within 8 days the music video for All American Boy had over 1m views on YouTube. The song, set against a backdrop of country roads, an American flag and friends around a campfire, tells the story of unrequited love between two men.
Grand recorded the vocals in his parents’ basement and maxed out his credit card to self-fund the groundbreaking video. The video was directed and edited by award-winning Chicago filmmaker Jason Knade
In May Steve Grand said that his debut, crowd funded album would be delayed. Grand managed to raise $326,593 to independently record his album – he initially asked for just $81,000.
Taking to his Facebook page, Grand said, ‘Today, July 2nd, is the 1-year anniversary of the release of “All-American Boy,” and I’m pretty sure I’m wearing the exact same white V-neck.
I’m going to be working on recording my album all day (as I will be doing everyday until it is done and finished and most likely released in September), but I want to still take a few moments throughout the day to celebrate with you. And that starts with a giant “THANK YOU!!” .’
