All Star United is a genre mishmashing and fun-without-apologies style in full, bursting-at-the-seams force. This band is composed of five guys who've seen an incredibly diverse array of people and places in the past couple of years, and have incorporated their experiences into all that they do. |

Artist History
Holland. Turkey. Ireland. Bosnia. New Zealand. Tazmania. Hungary. Canada. Australia. Brazil. Germany. Denmark. Sweden. Norway. Japan. Singapore. Although pop/rock quintet All Star United hails from Nashville, TN, the aforementioned nations are past and future stamps on the groups' passports, as their die-hard tour morphs into the wild mission of being one of the few X-generation bands to literally take over the globe. Formed in 1997, the band has been on a non-stop tour ever since, performing over 300 shows, and over 250,000 fans, in every environment imaginable: from sweaty, makeshift stages in auditoriums across the U.S. to the back of a flatbed truck in a Turkish square to a 12-day tour of military bases in Bosnia that necessated a series of Bond-like entrances and exits via Blackhawk helicopter. "We're an adventurous kind of group, and we like to push it with our live show." Pushing it has paid off - the band's 1996 debut received a Grammy nomination! |
