Cinderella celebrates the 25th anniversary of its debut album Night Songs with this summer’s tour. Formed in 1982 by singer/songwriter/guitarist/keyboardist Tom Keifer and bassist Eric Brittingham, the group got its big break when Jon Bon Jovi saw them perform and recommended that his rep see them. They have played alongside acts like Ozzy Osborne, Motley Crue and Skid Row. Cinderella has released four albums and sold over 18 million albums to date worldwide.
