The Naperville Jaycees proudly add Tom Keifer, lead singer of Cinderella, to the Naperville Last Fling Main Stage lineup on Saturday, Sept. 2, 2017. Keifer will be opening for multi-platinum artist Bret Michaels for a great evening of rock-n-roll.
Tickets are now available for purchase online at www.LastFling.org.
Best known as the singer-songwriter/front man of the Philadelphia based blues-rock band Cinderella, Keifer is enjoying continued success and touring in support of his solo debut, The Way Life Goes.
Though he possesses all the fire and brimstone of Rock’s greatest front men, you would be hard pressed to find the versatility and dimension that Keifer brings to the stage.
Whether delivering heart wrenching ballads, such as Don’t Know What You Got ‘til It’s Gone, channeling the soul of the bluesmen of the past with his slide guitar and lap steel, or blowing sax on rockers like “Shelter Me”, Keifer is clearly one of the most unique singers and accomplished musicians in Rock and Roll. Combine that with his new band, Tony Higbee (Guitar/vocals), Billy Mercer (Bass/vocals), Kory Myers (Keyboards/Vocals), Jarred Pope, (Drums), Savannah Keifer (Vocals/percussion/Piano) and Kendra Chantelle (Vocals/percussion), and there is only one possible outcome – a high energy rock show combining all the classic hits of Cinderella with new favorites from The Way Life Goes that will only leave you wanting more.
“A gritty, bluesy, (rocker) with enough genuine swagger to draw comparisons to Mick Jagger.”
—Rolling Stone Magazine
