Steve Bennett of St. Augustine, Florida has been a devoted SteelMaster fan since 2003. Check out www.reverbnation.com, enter "Vinny Vance Band" and you will understand why he is such a fan. Well, maybe not immediately. The real story is behind the music.
Although Steve has always enjoyed songwriting, it was not until late 2001 when he finally decided he could wait no longer to have his songs recorded and heard. He took his time and hand-picked a group of elite musicians. The Vinny Vance Band was formed.
The band's genre and style is likened to that of legendary rock staples: Lynryd Skynard, Deep Purple, The Allman Brothers, Bob Segar, and Bryan Adams. Steve knew he needed a place where the band could be comfortable and rehearse, as often and as loud as they wanted without disturbing the peace in the process. He started investigating the possibility of buying an addition or some sort of building for his property.
Steve "Googled" buildings and came up with a long list of would-be SteelMaster competitors. When he came upon the SteelMaster website, he was intrigued enough to pick up the phone.
"I called SteelMaster and soon I was meeting with a representative who lived in Tampa at the time. I was even able to go out and see a ‘Partner in Steel's' building nearby. This helped make my decision was an easy one. No one else I checked out had the quick service or quality of materials comparable to SteelMaster," said Steve.
"My whole experience from buying all the way through building my 20' x 20' SteelMaster was awesome. After the foundation was poured, the building went up over a couple of weekends with help from friends. I had thick foam insulation sprayed inside and I was able to do the electrical. I also have a portable 10,000 BTU air-conditioner. It's all I need to keep the whole building cool. Truth be known, the building I saw in Tampa was cool enough inside even without air-conditioning. In Florida, this is really saying something," added Steve.
Steve's building, not unlike most SteelMaster customers, is uniquely designed for his needs. The recording area is actually a separate room within the building. According to him, the band can be jamming loud enough to make ears ring afterward. But if someone is standing outside his building and strains to listen, music and lyrics from inside are barely audible.
"My building is sealed tight. I caulked every single seam on my building, and have not seen the first leak. In Florida, we get our share of sunshine, but we get the heavy rains and bad weather along with it. I know one thing, if a hurricane comes our way and we are not mandatorily evacuated, I know where I will be… right here in my SteelMaster Building," says Steve.
SteelMaster steel arched and metal prefabricated buildings not only stand the test of time, but they are backed by a 30-year warranty from our steel manufacturer. Within the corporate structure at the Virginia Beach home office there are design specialists, engineers and a bi-lingual sales team available to handle the needs of our national and international customers.
SteelMaster has refined the design of the World War II Quonset-style hut into an arched interlocking roof system built to withstand excessive rain, ice, snow loads, and hurricane force winds. SteelMaster's Galvalume Plus provides a clear top coating (with an Energy Star Rating) to help keep buildings rust free, fire-proof, and impenetrable to pests.
Even though Steve rocks out singing SteelMaster's praises, suffice it to say Steve is a bit of an all-around techie. Steve also has what he refers to as his "day" job in Jacksonville, where he works as an Engineering Technician for a medical corporation.
One of Steve's close friends is a fellow songwriter. He penned Blake Shelton's newest single, "Over." Steve remains hopeful one or more of his tunes will be picked up and recorded by a mega-star too. When this happens, as we predict it will with his talent, he probably could quit his day job.
But do not expect him to sit back and collect royalties. Nope. Steve will probably be ordering a whole slew of SteelMaster Buildings to make his recording label, Eclipse Records, into a majorly sought-after jam haven for recording artists.
