Steeltown Hot Country Rock

About Me


Steeltown is a new band with its roots in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where the steel mills of yesterday helped build this strong country. It is composed of a group of very talented musicians that were born and raised in the "Burgh" and love everything about the city including our beloved Steelers!! Experienced band members include Tim Brannon, Mike Madden, Harry Levicky and John McBride who have all played together for years previously with the Kiger Brannon Band. With Matt Kessler as our new lead singer and Gary Latkowski as our new bass player, we have formed the new band called Steeltown. Matt Kessler, our lead singer, spent time in Nashville where he competed in the Nashville Star TV program. Matt came in 10th out of 30,000 people!! We are very proud to have him as our lead singer. We love country music including touching ballads that tell a story as well as new high energy country rock. We are currently working on our first new album which will include the song "I'll Be Home Soon" which is part of a national charity campaign to help families of our fallen war heroes. You can view the music video at our charity web site www.HotCountryRock.com or on www.YouTube.com. This song and music video were produced by Matt Kessler and Tim Brannon along with the help of Eric Penstadler of Video Horizons, LLC. Recently we have had our new friend, Bob Horwatt, join us for certain shows. He is a great keyboard player and a lot of fun. All the members of Steeltown take great pride in our city, our country, and our music. We all look forward to privilege of meeting you soon!!
