Biography A FRIEND CALLED FIRE is a high-octane rock trio hailing from Chicago, IL established in 2008. With a foundation based upon an infectious rhythmic assault, the band's music is a pairing of heavy grooves based in hard rock and blues influence contrasted with delicate soundscapes and fused with compelling hooks and vocal melodies both genuine and purposeful. 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). The band handles all booking, marketing, promotions, artwork design and merchandising completely in-house with the highest level of detail and professionalism.
