Cinderella’s Tom Keifer brings The Tom Keifer Band to The Ritz in Raleigh on June 18, 2026, continuing a touring chapter that treats legacy as something active rather than archival. Critics have long described Keifer’s work as blues-rooted hard rock, shaped by grit, restraint, and an understanding of space that separates songcraft from excess. Best known as the voice and primary songwriter behind Cinderella, Keifer’s post-band catalog—including The Way Life Goes and Rise—leans into Americana, Southern rock, and classic hard rock without chasing modern gloss. This tour runs across the U.S. with select international dates, reflecting steady demand rather than nostalgia spikes. Keifer’s accolades include multi-platinum album sales with Cinderella, enduring radio presence, and a reputation as a songwriter who outlasted trends. He has also been open about health challenges and supports causes related to medical research and musician wellness. Official site: https://www.tomkeifer.com

L.A. Guns support the run with a set rooted in Sunset Strip hard rock, a style critics often describe as lean, riff-driven, and unapologetically direct. L.A. Guns’ catalog—stretching from their self-titled debut through Cocked & Loaded, Hollywood Vampires, and more recent releases—reflects a band that has continued recording and touring rather than freezing itself in a single era. Their current output emphasizes sharp guitar work and straightforward structure, designed for live translation over studio polish. Touring regularly across North America and abroad, L.A. Guns remain a reliable presence on the club and theater circuit. Their accolades include gold records, lasting influence on glam-era hard rock, and recognition for longevity in a volatile genre, alongside participation in benefit shows supporting veteran and community causes.
