RICK HAYS & AMERICAN STEEL BIO
On Jun 17, 2005 The band released their next CD “NEVADATUDE.” . There are some crowd favorites such as “Wrong Way” a story about a man who makes some poor choices, going the wrong way on a one way road. “Bring It On Home,” is a story about a Man who tells how lucky he is to have a loving Woman who will tell him, “Bring It On Home,” at the end of a hard day. “Inside Out,” tells what it is like to have someone look so deeply into you they see everything, and “Autumn Leaves” which is a ballad about lost love and the turning of the colors. The band also has welcomed their newest member Chris Lapin into the group. Chris is an incredible keyboardist, harmonica player and vocalist, who shares the same passion about music as the rest of the group. Chris joined the group Dec 1, 2005. His talents definitely help keep the band at the top. The band has not only had luck with their music, and their fans, but have also been noticed by 94.5FM Cub Country Radio, who have made Rick Hays & American Steel their Official House Band. Next came the attention of Coors Brewing Company, and New West Distributing who now sponsor the band as well. Next came Capital Ford, who stood behind the band, and now the band drives a brand new F-250 Turbo Diesel Ford truck from Capital Ford to each show and enjoy sharing all of the great Coors beverages with all of their great fans! Of course, the drive to and from the show is great when they turn on their radio, and listen to 94.5FM Cub Country Radio. After all of that, it is definitely showtime. If you want to hear the band at home, or find out the show schedule, you can find the band’s web site, www.RickHays.com Of course you can always see the band every other month at their home club “Pure Country Dance Hall & Saloon in Sparks, Nevada. In August 2005, the band caught the attention of University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) football coach Chris Ault. The coach liked the title track of the CD, “NEVADATUDE,” and decided he wanted that song to be used for the UNR football team. So, he asked Rick and the guys to go back in the studio and do a re-write of the lyrics to better match the football team. Today,
the band is out playing their music from their last 2 CD’s,
cover songs, and writing and playing new songs for their 3rd
CD. You too can enjoy the great “live” country
entertainment of Rick Hays & American Steel. If you have
a special event, Rick Hays & American Steel can help make
it a successful and memorable one. Rick Hays & American Steel
