Cinderella's Tom Keifer Inks for Solo Album

THE GLASS SLIPPER: Look for Cinderella singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Tom Keifer to release his solo album next year after entering into a partnership with industry vet Jack Ponti’s Merovee Records, a joint venture with David Letterman’s Worldwide Pants, Inc. The as-yet-untitled collection contains 14 new songs ranging from intimate acoustic tracks to driving hard rock. The album offers a raw, introspective look at the roller coaster ride that has been Keifer’s life for the past 15 years, from being told he would never sing again as a result of a partially paralyzed left vocal cord to the emotional struggles that followed.
