A Friend Called Fire

Biography A FRIEND CALLED FIRE is a high-octane rock trio hailing from Chicago, IL established in 2008.

The band’s diversity is apparent in their intense electric performances as well as spirited acoustic sets and proves that much like their name implies, A Friend Called Fire in many ways creates and destroys with passion and power. A true working-class independent musical force, is comprised of Jon Allegretto (lead vocals, guitar), Adam Powers (bass), and JB Schiller (drums, backing vocals).
