	Celtic Rock - Irish Rock - Roots Music Created with Fire and Intensity "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"... - Savannah Irish Festival Director

He's Back! What do Brett Favre and Ric Smith have in common? They announce their retirement every year and for some reason come back for another season....Are they seaking attention or what? Well, the Firestarters are VERY proud to announce that Ric is back in action with the group! His recent retirement was often disturbed by requests to perform with the band in Connecticut, Dublin, New Jersey, and Youngstown. We are pretty sure that he figured he's working his butt off with the Firestarters anyway, so why not just remain a band member. With Ric back full time the Firestarters remain one of the most active and talented groups in Celtic rock. Don't miss their shows as they prepare to again head into the recording studio to produce yet another CD album. We are certain that you will welcome him back with open arms.
