Artist description The new band formed and fronted by former KEEL vocalist Ron Keel blends elements of all his previous bands. The excitement and energy of Rock, the rowdy good-time attitude of Southern Rock, the melody, lyrical content and song structures of Country Music, and the power of Heavy Metal come together in the IronHorse sound.

Music Style A combination of Rock, Southern Rock, Rockin' Country, and Heavy Metal

Artist History Formed in early 2000, the band has toured the US from coast to coast, released 1 independent self-titled CD, a 3-song video compilation, received airplay and press worldwide, and earned equipment endorsements from Peavey Electronics, Dillion Guitars, Rhino Guitar Amps, Dean Markley Strings, Taye Drums, Istanbul Agop Cymbals, Vic Firth Drumsticks, Morley Pedals, and Attack Drum Heads. IronHorse will enter the studio in December 2002 to begin recording their follow-up CD and plans to tour extensively throughout the US and Europe in 2003.

Press Reviews "There is familiarity to their style of rock and roll and southern rock when you hear them, but there is also a tenderness and new abandonment... Not only are the songs showing IronHorse's capacity for lyrical prowess and sense of melody sometimes not present in today's rock or country bands, but they are proof that Ronnie Keel's new mix is bound to be successful." Christine Davis, Entertainment Columbus "All I can say is I love it!! Great stuff!" Mitch LaFon, KNAC.com, Brave Words, Classic Rock, Hard Radio, Metal Edge, etc. "It may not be the album of the year, but it's damn close. I can't stop playing this CD."
