Stevie Jones (Wildfires)

Following in the footsteps of Steve Earle and The Dukes or Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Stevie Jones and The Wildfires deliver their own unique blend of modern alternative rock centred around powerful acoustic-based songwriting. With a number of line up changes over the last decade they have released two studio albums and a live EP receiving favourable reviews and airplay including BBC Introducing, Planet Rock and BBC Radio Scotland. The 2015 debut ‘Stratigraphic Heart’ was recorded at Parlour Studios in Kettering with acclaimed producers Russ Russell and Neil Haynes and featured Marshall Gill from Blackballed/New Model Army. The follow up 'Angels and Sirens‘ released in 2018 was produced by Adam Ellis at Deadline Studios, Leicester with guests including LA guitarist Janet Robin (String Revolution, Lindsay Buckingham Band), top Leicester harp player Sean Clutterham and keyboard player/vocalist Autumn Dawn Leader .The edgy songs are split between hard-edged guitar based material and more delicate acoustic arrangements touching tales of everything from archaeology, sex, love, politics and life in the music industry. Live their show is full of energy, edge and passion and they are just as happy in a small club or gracing larger stages. 2019 saw the release of the live EP 'Morningless Live' and a busy gigging schedule which included a well-received slot in the autumn at HRH Crows Festival at O2 Academy, Sheffield. Lockdown coincided with a change in line up with David Carter switching to guitar replacing Vassilis D and Dave Forster coming back in on drums after recovering from an arm injury. The band are now in writing mode and hope to hit 2021 with new material and fingers crossed some live shows. Stevie also releases a mini solo album 'Come In From The Rain' this winter.

'A tremendously enjoyable debut album, Stratigraphic Heart is a complex layering of human endeavour captured simply and with absolute care‘
8.5/10 Ian D. Hall Liverpool Sound and Vision

**** Maverick Country Music Magazine

‘A hint of Counting Crows, The Long Ryders, Stone Temple Pilots and the band’s long time heroes New Model Army...Timeless wistfulness combined with rollocking rhythms keeps the album cooking from end to end’.
