Roger Drawdy and The FireStarters






 


"Firestarters is right: This band's hallmark is it's high-powered energy. It's an energy that never over powers the music or the lyrics, though, and there are lyrics in plenty. Drawdy sings lead and plays guitar, with backing vocals from his bandmates, who add fiddle, mandolin, bodhrán, and bass as well. This Midwest-based group's growing skill is at serving the music and at serving up music that's worthy to be heard. The group has recently been the talk of Irish festivals. This is why."
- Dirty Linen Magazine

"Drawdy's Theatrical vocals and lyrical bent is of the big emotional kind, half Mike Scott's romanticisim, and half Luka Bloom's sensuality. The band kicks up it's storms with choppy rhythms and air punching acoustic rockers."
- Irish Music Magazine

"This high-flying group lit up the stage last year and went on to win rave reviews from across the country as audiences heard the stellar songwriting of Roger Drawdy for the first time. They have earned a return performance and promise to be headliners for years to come"...

Firestarters are recording studio bound...

You told us you want more Firestarters music so we plan to give you all you can handle in 2010!  There is enough new material to produce a couple new albums, so we are recording studio bound.  We'll be looking forward to seeing you on the weekends, because that will be our only escape from recording.  Don't miss our new music live!
