History was made at the inaugural KeelFest held at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio, USA on Friday, May 10, 2019 with Steeler performing for the first time in 35 years, Ron Keel singing over 30 songs and Ron Keel‘s three main bands (Steeler, Keel and the Ron Keel Band) playing on the same night.

Steeler‘s first show in 35 years saw the reunion of Steeler alumni Ron Keel, bassist Rik Fox and guitarist Mitch Perry along with drummer Dwain Miller (who auditioned for Steeler in 1983 when he was 18 years old).
