The Valley Star Awards will be bringing a reader favorite to the stage this year – Steven May and the Southern Knights. They have been honored, and they say humbled, to have been nominated and voted, “Country Band of The Year” by readers for the Valley Star Awards in 2022, 2023, and 2024. They are honored again to have been nominated and are excited that Steven has also been nominated for Male Vocalist.

Steven May and the Southern Knights are a south Texas band playing a variety of country, rock and oldies. They play a variety of music that will have you up on your feet dancing and asking for more.  They play everything from two stepping tunes to shuffles, waltz’s, line dances, polkas, rock-n-roll and good old belly rubbing favorites. There’s something for everyone at one of their performances.

You will hear songs that send you running for the dance floor, have you tapping with the beat, dancing in your chair, singing along, and even songs that will make you want to just sit back and enjoy the music and Steven’s velvety voice.

Steven May is the founder, lead singer and lead guitarist of the band and is a full-time entertainer.  He was born and raised in Texas, where he grew up on a farm and continues to farm the land his great grandparents did along with singing and playing music. Over the years he has opened for big name acts, played and recorded in Nashville, and even played for a former First Lady.

He will be the first to tell you, nothing compares with entertaining Winter Texans in the valley and the bonus of the lifelong friendships he has been blessed with, all while doing what he loves. He is proud to share the stage and play music with the best musicians the Valley has to offer. 

Leon Mann on bass/vocals and Tony Rodriguez on drums/vocals. Leon and Tony are both full-time musicians and are the backbone of Southern Knights. Leon and Tony were both born and raised in Texas and enjoy calling the Valley home.

All these talented guys have been playing for years and together they have more than 100 years of combined musical experience. You will never leave a show disappointed.
