  • Bio

    ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Fire gate.. .. Irish Music 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."..... Jimmy Buttimer, Entertainment Director for the Savannah Irish Festival 2010 wrote: "They light up the stage with original songs, excellent musical skills and pure joy. This band is about passion and engagement with the audience. They will bring an audience of their own and win the rest."..... According to Dirty Linen Magazine, "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." The Firestarters were nominated for the Cincinnati Entertainment Award three consecutive years.....
