Concert Review: Tom Keifer, Backstage Halle, Munich, October 15th, 2015 by Alex Bock

October 17, 2015

  Last night Munich was in for a special treat. Tom Keifer, best known as the Cinderella frontman, stopped by to take us all back down memory lane. The Backstage Halle was fully packed, when the show started at 8.30 pm, about 30 minutes later than announced. There was no opening act, which is kinda unusual, but it’s also not that often that acts ‘with a long history in the Rock n’ Roll business’ still draw that many people. Keifer started the show with ‘Fallin’ Apart At The Seams’, the opening track of Cinderella’s second studio album ‘Long Cold Winter’. The set contained some of the songs from his first solo-record ‘The Way Life Goes’ which was released about 2 ½ years ago, like ‘It’s not enough’, ‘Different Light’ and ‘The Flower Song’. The second big part on the set-list were Cinderella songs. Everyone that was there for those wasn’t gonna be disappointed, because he played all the great tracks that were hit singles for the band like ‘Shake Me’, ‘Nobody’s Fool’, ‘Coming Home’ and [Read More]

Michael Lee Firkins brings the rockin blues to life at the Jason Becker Not Dead Yet 3 Festival

September 4, 2014

Another great highlight from the Jason Becker Not Dead Yet 3 Festival was the great set by Michael Lee Firkins featuring Courtney DeAugustine on drums and Dave Rapa on bass. It was amazing as always to watch them perform and Michael is captivating to watch on guitar. He brought the perfect fusion of blues and rock to life at the venue and everyone was enjoying it. I was so glad to see Courtney on drums, we had the chance to catch her perform earlier this year at the Bonzo Bash and she is spectacular with her energetic precision drumming. Dave on bass makes it look so easy as he is knocking out bass lines and always with an infectious smile on his face. In addition, we were treated to legendary Steve Hunter joining in on a couple songs! What a stellar night for music! When Michael plays, you are drawn to him as he stuns the crowd with his slide playing, singing and fueling the crowd with funky rockin blues. The notes and tones he brings [Read More]
