Ron Keel

Ron Keel is an American rock vocalist and musician best known as the frontman for the bands Steeler, Keel, and Fair Game.

Born in Savannah, Georgia, Keel relocated to Los Angeles in the early 1980s. He first gained prominence as the singer for Steeler, a heavy metal band that also featured guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen briefly before Malmsteen's departure. Steeler released one self-titled album in 1983 before disbanding.

Following Steeler's demise, Keel formed the band Keel. Keel released a series of albums throughout the 1980s, finding commercial success with albums like The Right to Rock (1985) and Final Frontier (1986). These albums featured a more melodic and accessible hard rock sound than Steeler. The band Keel was notable for receiving the encouragement and support of Gene Simmons of KISS, who produced some of their early recordings.

After Keel disbanded in the late 1980s, Ron Keel formed Fair Game, a band that explored a more blues-influenced hard rock sound. He has also released solo albums and continued to tour and perform with various iterations of his bands, including reunions of Keel. In more recent years, he has explored country music under the moniker "Ron Keel Band." He also hosts a radio show.

Keel's career spans multiple decades and genres within rock and country music. He is known for his powerful vocals and his contributions to the hard rock and metal scenes of the 1980s.
