    You may have seen him front 7th Heaven or with his band Semple in Chicago.  Now the world is experiencing Keith Semple's amazing vocals on The Voice.  He is on Team Adam.  Though he can't spill any dirt on how he progresses on the show, he does share a funny story about running into The Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Reznik in the bathroom!  Cara spoke with Keith October 20, 2015 as the knockout rounds air on The Voice.  Keith is actually in Chicago watching these episodes since they are pre-recorded.  He describes getting to see Gwen Stefani's reaction to his performance(s) and more!

Cara Rocks

Cara has a terrific radio/internet personality and is fun to listen to. More important she is a true rock fan and her passion for the music comes through. Melodic rock may never have it's former fan base of the 70's and 80's, but thanks to people like Cara the music and it's musicians both old and new are kept alive.
