Press
“Roger Drawdy has been on a creative tear for some time now and he shows no sign of slowing down. The fire within burns fiercely still and a good band has become a great roots band over the years with Ric Smith, John McBride, Eric Sayer, Mark Milliron and Keri McBride.

If you want to make your festival better, sign the Firestarters. They will bring an audience of their own and win the rest.”
