"Cowboy Alan Debuts Nationally As Alan Turner"

Detroit country artist, Cowboy Alan and the Steel Horse Band began working with an organization called the Lili Claire Foundation just over one year ago. Robin Cursi, Executive Producer with the Foundation’s entertainment division, was looking to work with a band to take national. After a fateful meeting and hearing Alan’s band the rest was history! Robin, knowing what it takes to play in the national arena, gave the band two projects. The first was to create and release of their first music video, Bull Riding Babe—which has since experienced airtime on CMT (Country Music Television). The second was to write a song for the Lili Claire Foundation. That song, Everyone's A Miracle, has now become their much anticipated second music video!


The Lili Claire Foundation was founded by well-known Hollywood personalities, Keith and Leslie Litt Resnick. Keith is an acclaimed Director and Leslie was the Casting Director for the television sitcom "Friends." Several years ago they had a daughter, Lili Claire, who was born with a disease called Williams Syndrome. Sadly, their baby girl's life was lost due to a heart condition which was complicated due to her weaken condition, caused by the disease. But through that tragedy her spirit lives on. The Foundation was born and has raised millions of dollars to help families all over the country deal with an assortment of special needs issues. Their national spokesperson is Matthew Perry.

Everyone’s A Miracle is their story.





"We've taken the song, which is their story, and then expanded the video to tell a similar story" explains Alan.




The music video showcases a working class family who, after the death of their daughter, uses the experience to start a Special Needs Day Camp at a nursery. The family works with kids, teaching them the miracles of life... growing flowers... The leading actress is Lori Smith of Arizona, a schoolteacher and actress.

With a budget ten times more than that of their first music video, the team was able to really go nuts! They retained the same Director, used for Bull Riding Babe, Ryan Archibald of RMA Productions.





"The whole project was energized from day one! We are anxiously looking forward to its national debut!" states Robin Cursi, the bands manager and the productions executive producer.




The band has been booked to join the Foundation for the Nevada Wild Fest in Las Vegas on October 15, 16 & 17 of this year. They will be performing all three days along with the likes of Kenny Rogers, Lonestar and Montgomery Gentry!



Although known locally in Detroit, Michigan as Cowboy Alan, he is moving into the national spotlight as Alan Turner. Mr Turner is also re-releasing his hit CD (Behind The Eight Ball) under his full name. Dave Teegarden, a Grammy Award winner from Bob Seger's Against The Wind album, has remastered the work. The re-release has dropped a couple of songs from the original work and added the Everyone’s A Miracle track. The CD will be released in September to coincide with the music video release to follow!



Cowboy Alan always dreamt of becoming a nationally known artist and with the support and dedication from his team and a whole lot of God's Grace, Alan Turner is well on his way to realize this dream.

""Cowboy Alan Releases Video""

(Detroit,MI)Big Daddy & Spike Records in conjunction with Lili Claire Communications are pleased to announce the release of Cowboy Alan and the Steel Horse Band's debut video: "Bull Riding Babe". The music video is the first to be released off the band's debut CD "Behind The Eight Ball". The song was written by Alan Turner and J.T. Monroe after being inspired by all those beautiful young ladies that ride the mechanical bulls in all those country bars.
The Music video itself, was shot entirely on location at the famed Coyote Joes in Shelby Twp, MI on December 2 & 3, 2009. Along with Alan and the band, the leading lady (Heather Mitcham) and a cast of many locals and extras, director Ryan Archibald (RMA Productions) put together a masterpiece in just under 30 hours of shooting.
"What we accomplished in those two days was incredible" says Ryan. "It's amazing the magic that happens when you have a great song/story to tell and a great cast and crew to work with."
On Jan 14th, the band made a scheduled stop in their home state of Michigan at Coyote Joes to perform and premiere the video to a packed house.
"it's kind of fun to see your own video play along side Tim McGraw, Toby Keith and others," commented Alan Turner (The band's frontman and lead vocalist), "A big thank you goes out to Joe (The owner of Coyote Joes) for his support and kindness during the whole process"
Robin Cursi, the bands manager and executive producer with Lili Claire Communications says, "Stay Tuned! Because we've got big plans for this video, Mr. Turner and the band"

Bio

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, and his rugged good looks and rich baritone vocals often have him touted as “Tim McGraw with a Toby Keith attitude.”

Alan found his love of music at a very young age. By six years old, Alan’s mother, a Sunday school teacher was teaching him to read music and play piano. Alan’s father, also a singer /songwriter, was a constant inspiration until his death when Alan was just ten years old.

“Shortly before his death, my father had given me Kenny Roger’s album, The Gambler,” Alan explains. “I think it was the combination of my father’s musical influence and that old vinyl record of Kenny’s that led to my love of country music.”

This love is visible in Alan’s music in the way he delivers each song on stage. That love came full circle in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2010 when Alan and the band had the honor of meeting Kenny Rogers and being his direct opening act.

All across the USA and into Canada, Alan and the band have been thrilling crowds with distinctly high energy country with a pumping rock n roll sound that no one delivers better. From Alan jumping off the stage to sing and dance with the fans, to the driving beat of a very confident and talented group of musicians, you definitely don’t want to miss a show. The Steel Horse Band consists of: lead guitarist J.T. Monroe, Randy Lopez on the bass guitar, Billy Lee on keyboards, and drummer Dave Piotrowski. Heather Nicole also adds her angelic voice as background vocalist on selected dates. They truly have made their mark as a band to be reckoned with.

With a nonstop performance schedule of over 134 performances a year there is no sign of slowing down. Look for Alan Turner and the Steel Horse Band to be performing at venues near you. This is one cowboy you don’t want to miss!
