rebelracewriter Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 For Immediate Release Cinderella's Keifer Joins Throttle Fest Legendary frontman and guitarist to headline Friday night lineup MILLINGTON, Tenn. (August 20, 2015) - The band lineup for Throttle Fest Memphis powered by Fun Ford Series has been finalized and Tom Keifer of Cinderella will headline on Friday night August 28 to complement Jackyl serving as the star attraction on Saturday night August 29 at Memphis International Raceway (MIR). "Memphis is a city with such amazing music history and has always been one of my favorite places to play," Keifer said. "It's been a while since I've played there and I can't think of a better way to come back. Throttle Fest combined with the rock fans of Memphis will be nothing short of a killer event! The band and I are so looking forward to rocking with you all!" Keifer has fronted Cinderella since its inception and has toured with the band around the world supporting its four studio albums and several live and "best of" releases. Cinderella frontman Tom Keifer will headline Friday night's concert schedule at Throttle Fest Memphis powered by Fun Ford Series. "Michael Ballard and I are very excited to have Tom Keifer with us at Throttle Fest Memphis," said Jesse James Dupree of the Full Throttle Saloon. "You do not realize the full extent of Tom's pipes until you see his live show and it is hit after hit. We are honored to have him as part of the Full Throttle family as he has played several Throttlefest events with us now and he kills it every time." Keifer will cap off a wild night scheduled for Friday when he is scheduled to take the stage at 10 p.m. Before that The Dirty Streets will play at 8 p.m. and EMN (Every Mother's Nightmare) will play at 9 p.m. If those three bands aren't enough to get the adrenaline flowing, the "Wall of Death" motordrome, a circular arena in which skilled riders defy gravity to perform motorcycle stunts, will join the Full Throttle Rockstar Bartenders in the Full Throttle Saloon area certainly will. Midnight Madness will be the cherry on top thanks to drifting with Traction Optional, an open car show and the chance to race your own car on the drag strip. Saturday brings a full day's worth of fun and excitement that starts with the Fun Ford series with FocusFest taking part in autocross, drag racing and an all-Ford car show sponsored by Crutcher Insurance Group of Collierville. The Wall of Death and the Full Throttle Saloon will be in action throughout the day as well.
