93.3 WMMR welcomed home Tom Keifer! The Galaxy Rock Dog got things shakin Friday, June 30th at the Keswick Theatre, hosted by Jacky Bam Bam.
A lot of us grew up watching him on MTV, listening to him on WMMR and seeing the shows at The Galaxy and the Empire Rock Room. He always gives 110 percent on stage.
The Tom Keifer Band along with Winger and John Corabi rocked North Keswick Ave.
