Tom Keifer's Birthday!

Happy Birthday to Tom Keifer!

Today 26th of January we celebrate Tom Keifer, who is most known as the singer and guitar player in the American 80’s glam band ”Cinderella”. After the Heartbreak Tour with Cinderella in the 90’s, Tom lost his voice do to paralysis on one of his vocal cords and that made Cinderella split up. Tom worked on his health and soloalbum. Later on Cinderella got back together and started to tour again. Depending on Tom’s voice they’ve toured a bit back and forth since then. 

In April, 2013 he released his solo album ”The Way Life Goes”. A soft rock & blues album with hints of country. Basic music where Tom’s love for the guitar is shown/heard and the music and the vocals are working together. Despite his voice problems he sings well and he uses his voice as an instrument to the music. 

I recommend the songs ”Mood Elevator” which is great and in the clip below you can see the song ”It’s Not Enough”. 

Last year Tom did a few selected shows in Europe and only one in Scandinavia, Stockholm with Swedish Close Quarters as support. Tom will do shows in the USA this year. For more info you can go to his website.
