DARRIN ALLEN

DARRIN ALLEN

Born in Pocatello, ID in the arms of a caring and hardworking family; around the rustic beauty of rural life, Darrin Allen had music in his blood from an early age. In church, at family gatherings, at rodeos and in his head filled with melodies.

An electrician by trade, it finally happened: the confidence to leap from his routine and begin singing in public. Not in the work truck, not in the shower, but in public. Response was overwhelmingly positive and some were astonished - "He can sing! I didn't know he could sing."

His first record, THE HARDEST JOB, was done in the usual hurryup- and-get-it-done haste of most who discover a talent. Still, it sold 3200 units to friends, relatives and to anyone from the work truck.

A new release, THE COWBOY WAY, features a more involved approach to writing and recording and leans on his own material with help from some of Nashville's best writers: Hank Cochran, Red Lane, Kirk Roth, Scott Patrick, Tony Stampley and Mark Dreyer.

A 6'4" tall, casual performer, Darrin Allen doesn't bring a lot of shimmy and shake, just The Cowboy Way.

*CORPORATE REVIEW, 8/17/2007 PERFORMANCE*

My cowboy hat is off to Darrin Allen and the Country Steele Band. We had the pleasure of booking them for an event recently and they were fantastic. They were on time, professional and very cooperative. We had a last minute venue change due to bad weather and they cheerfully moved the equipment they had just finished setting up to the new location.

Despite less than perfect conditions, they brought down the house with a mixture of original music and popular country standards. They got the crowd on their feet and on the dance floor with a blend of foot stomping fast songs and cuddle your baby slow songs.

After the event they took the time to sign autographs and talk with their fans before breaking down and loading their equipment.

If everyone we worked with was this professional, planning corporate events would be a breeze. I would not hesitate to book them again and would highly recommend them.
