Event Entertainment - Kyle Turley Band
Kyle Turley, a current Gridiron Greats Board of Directors Member, former New Orleans Saints, St. Louis Rams and Kansas City Chiefs standout will be performing with his band tonight. Turley was drafted by the Saints 7th overall in 1995 out of San Diego State University. He was a 1st Team All-Pro in the 2000 season and was named 2nd Team All-Pro in 2003.Turley has had some of his own post career injury issues and recently appeared before Congress after early detection of his post-career diagnosis of developing Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy as the result of head injuries sustained during his playing career.
After retiring from football, Turley moved to Nashville, Tennessee, where he set his sights on a music career. His debut album, "Anger Management" which includes songs about his football career, is described by Turley as "power country." He explains that this style of music is a mix of all rock sub genres and country genres. The track entitled, "Anger Management," includes references to the helmet-throwing incident. Most would describe Turley's music as Outlaw Country of even Country Rock. Because of his heavy metal influences and background, his songwriting is less polished and more raw than traditional Country music.
The album titled "Anger Management" was released by Gridiron Records in 2010. It was co-produced by Brandon Epps and Kyle Turley. "Anger Management" has received critical praise since debuting in the top 200 Country albums on iTunes. Part of the proceeds from the album go to the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund a non-profit, 501(c) (3) corporation, established to provide financial assistance and coordinate social services to dire need retired NFL players who are pioneers of the game and have greatly contributed to the NFL's status as the most popular sport in America.
