Biography:
He's a real cowboy with deep Texas roots, but 28-year-old Tommy Shane Steiner is just as comfortable in Hollywood hanging out on the famed Sunset Strip as he is at home in Austin working cattle with the rest of the family. “After seeing me it always surprises people when they hear me sing,” Tommy laughs. “They're always like, 'Wow. That's really country.'”
It's country sounding indeed, but with a self-described “dry vocal” and plenty of steel guitars with a little bit of banjo in the mix.

Fly fishin', workin' on that firebird engine
G C G C
Runnin' 99 proof moonshine across that county line

And the bright lights

Cause deep inside things were rockin' in the mind
