Ron Keel & The Voodoo Cowboys as Ronnie Dunn & The Cowboy Band 10 Day Event

BIO/MEDIA RELEASE – DECEMBER 1 2011
“Ron Keel as Ronnie Dunn is GREAT.”
TODAY IN LAS VEGAS Magazine

“An amazing resemblance and strong singing.”
Mike Weatherford – LAS VEGAS REVIEW JOURNAL

Ron Keel will debut his new project, COWBOY BAND, with two performances in Las Vegas on December 1st to kick off National Finals Rodeo. Keel stars as Ronnie Dunn (Brooks & Dunn) in the long running hit show “Country Superstars Tribute,” currently at the Golden Nugget, and is also an established national act with four million albums sales as lead vocalist of KEEL and as a solo artist.

COWBOY BAND promises to combine the Ronnie Dunn tribute with the real Keel – during the course of the show, the singer will switch personas vocally and visually to offer audiences the best of both worlds. The material consists of all the popular Brooks & Dunn classics (“My Maria,” “Boot Scootin’ Boogie,” “Neon Moon” etc.); hit songs from Ronnie Dunn’s #1 solo album like “Bleed Red,” Song Of The Year Nominee “Cost Of Livin’” and the signature opening song “Singer In A Cowboy Band.” During the opening segment and during the wardrobe change, Keel’s band delivers the hottest current country hits, and upon Ron’s return they mix it up with original material from his solo career and former bands The Rat’lers and IronHorse as well as country and southern rock classics, a blend Keel refers to as “reckless redneck rock & roll.”

The new project will perform for the first time as a showcase artist in the popular “Toast Of The Town” variety show in the Sam’s Town Live! showroom on Thursday December 1 at 2:00 PM. That evening, COWBOY BAND begins their 10-day run during National Finals Rodeo in Roxy’s Buckin’ Bull Honky Tonk (renamed for this event) inside Sam’s Town.

Keel’s portrayal of Ronnie Dunn both as a solo act and as one half of Brooks & Dunn will remain a staple of “Country Superstars Tribute” at the Golden Nugget, which features a rotating cast of the best country tribute artists in the business.
