The Ron Keel Channel

In March 1984, it was announced on MTV and rock radio that Ron Keel was the new singer in Black Sabbath. A signed contract and multiple band meetings ensued, but ultimately I never recorded or toured with the band. In 2016 I was recruited to sing on the Emerald Sabbath tribute album, featuring other ex-Sabbath alumni, and then in 2021 my live tribute KEEL/SABBATH premiered at the Smokin' Country Saloon Bike Rally in Ohio. What is next...

http://ronkeel.com http://RFKmedia.com http://ronkeelband.com http://ronkeel.net “Soulful, heartfelt and powerful, the Ron Keel Band delivers an anthemic hit.” CHRIS AKIN – Classic Metal Show “There’s always a ‘song of the summer’ and you might as well already name this that song for 2022.” DERRIC MILLER – HardRockHaven.net “One of the defining songs of my career.” RON KEEL SUMMER 2022 Ron Keel Band has released their new single “When This Is Over,” from the forthcoming album “KEELWORLD,” via RFK Media and Amplified Distribution. The track is available on all digital and streaming platforms, and also as a limited edition CD single accompanied by a world class music video premiering at BraveWords.com on July 1st. “I received a very nice email from a fan overseas during the pandemic,” Ron said, explaining the song’s inspiration.; this guy said he loves what we do and can’t wait to see us on tour…when this is over. The song was born in that moment…and the lyrics quickly evolved as an echo of that fan’s hope. In the song, I don’t define what ‘this’ is – it could be World War III or just a bad day at work – but we gotta believe that when this is over, everything’s going to be okay. “Now just this morning, I got a message from another fan, who had her legs crushed when she was struck by a car. She says this song is now ‘her jam’ and it’s helping her through rehab after one of those legs was amputated. She said when this is over, she’s going to walk again.” He insists the message behind the song is both timely and timeless and guarantees “When This Is Over” will be on the set list with the Keel classics for all the Ron Keel Band summer shows. RKB joins Cinderella’s Tom Keifer, Jackyl, Winger and many others at the RockTember Music Festival in Minnesota this September, and the band will return for their residency at the Full Throttle Saloon during the 82nd annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Other big summer headline concerts include July 16th at Logan’s Wild Hog Run in Cando, North Dakota, September 16th at the King Of Clubs in Columbus, Ohio, and the Field Of Screams Festival in Wabash, Indiana September 17th. The tour will come full circle with their only hometown show of 2022, on New Year's Eve in Sioux Falls, South Dakota at the El Riad Shrine. “Along with anthems like ‘The Right To Rock’ and ‘Wild Forever,’ ‘When This Is Over’ is one of the defining songs of my career,” Keel insists. The album “KEELWORLD” is set for release in 2023 and includes all new music from Ron Keel Band, KEEL, Steeler, IronHorse, Fair Game, and more. The “When This Is Over” Limited Edition CD Single contains the master mix (explicit lyrics), an instrumental mix, and the radio mix.

This a blast and a dream come true, something I've wanted to do for a long time. As I mention in the clip, the wind started whipping up and wreaking havoc with the camera audio, but here's almost a half hour of highlights from our first show ever. I can't wait to do it again.

Our friend Mark Butler saw my band Keel in Marquette, Michigan when he was just 15...now, 35 years later, Mark joins us on stage at Kickstands in Sturgis on his 50th birthday for "Tears Of Fire."

I didn't know what I had - this was a pretty cool little private party as I put the Keel test pressings on the turntable for the first time in over 30 years.

From the album "METAL COWBOY"
