Jeffrey Philip LaBar (born March 18, 1963, in Darby, Pennsylvania) is an American guitarist most famous for playing in the band Cinderella, in which he replaced original guitarist Michael Smerick, also known as Michael Kelly Smith. LaBar also has a side band with Cinderella bandmate Eric Brittingham called Naked Beggars. During Cinderella's temporary break-up in the mid-1990s, LaBar supported himself by running a pizza shop with his brother and by doing assorted construction jobs. LaBar and Cinderella recently completed their 20th anniversary tour with fellow rock veterans Poison, who were also celebrating 20 years in the business.
LaBar married Debinique (Debby) Salazar on January 25, 2006 on stage in Pottsville, Pennsylvania before a Blue Öyster Cult concert. In April 2007 LaBar and his wife parted ways with Naked Beggars. They hosted an internet radio show "Late Night with the LaBar's" on www.realityradio.biz. He has a son named Sebastian from a previous marriage. Sebastian is in a band called Mach22.
Jeffs debut solo record was released August 2014 and available on iTunes, Amazon, Best Buy and RRatPakRecords.com. Jeff will be touring his solo record with his son Sebastian and Jasmine Cain.
