Catchfire

Catchfire is sparking up a flame with their original classic rock tunes with a twist of modern lyrics and looks. Having only formed just over one year ago in Nashville, TN, they are lighting up their audiences on stage. Catchfire is made up of five members who all grew up with rock and roll in their lives. Whether their parents were cranking up the volume on a Zeppelin song, or they were shredding on Guitar Hero 5, all of those experiences led them to where they are now on their musical journeys. Starting out, Catchfire had a lead and a rhythm guitarist, a drummer, and a bass player, but they were having trouble landing a singer. At the time, a good friend of the lead guitarist, Travis, volunteered to fill in as a temporary vocalist. Six rehearsals and one debut show later, Maddy became the lead singer of the band and she is here to stay. How Catchfire got its name is also a great tale. Maddy worked at a bakery/cafe as a pastry chef assistant. While cooking breakfast food for the cafe, the toaster had a very small flare up and caught fire. Once it went out she proceeded to say, “damn that thing was catching fire,” and it clicked that that’s what the band name had to be; Catchfire. Catchfire’s music is timeless rock with a fresh modern sound. They use the 70s and 80s rock era as their inspiration and foundation to build their original ideas on. Some iconic rock and rollers that contribute to their sound include AC/DC, Def Leppard, Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, and Tom Petty. Catchfire wants their music to make you remember that timeless classic rock feel, but they have new stories, melodies, and anthems of their own. Currently, Catchfire is recording three new singles to be released over the course of the next few months, as well as planning plenty of live performances for the spring, summer, and fall.
