Summary
Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk, my guest is Kelly Keagy from the legendary Night Ranger.
Kelly has been the heartbeat of Night Ranger since day one, powering classics like Sister Christian, Don't Tell Me You Love Me, and When You Close Your Eyes.
We dive deep into the band's incredible journey, the early days of the '80s rock scene, life on the road, songwriting, drumming, singing lead on one of the biggest rock anthems of all time, and their brand new Best Of record out Aug 28th 2026.
It was an honor to talk to Kelly and I know you guys will dig it. Also check out my past episode with Jack Blades incase you missed that one.
Dig in, and as always, thanks for tuning in to Let There Be Talk.
