Mark your calendars for December 1st, the day that Ron Coolen’s brand-new album ‘Here to Stay’ will officially release! ‘Here to Stay’ is the result of an incredible creative partnership with world class singer Keith St John (Burning Rain, Kingdom Come, Montrose, Lynch Mob). Over the past few years, Ron and Keith pushed the boundaries of their musical comfort zones and co-wrote an electrifying mix of heavy metal music.
