About Me

MellowFire lurks in the backwoods of Lansing, Illinois, pounding away to deliver an attack of rock and roll riffage and melodic songwriting. With influences across the board, this four piece band of talented and eccentric individuals houses an arsenal of songs all different in mood and feel but alike in energy.
Formerly the battery of a three-piece known as Stolen Blues, Kevin Wood and Doug Bolin revamped their band's sound and changed its name to coincide with the addition of Dave Michaels on bass and Dusty Thiel on guitar. Mellowfire was what they got.
Since January, the band has been exploding into high gear with energetic stage performances and appearances at Lassen's open mic on Sunday nights. Recently, they took third place at the Prairie State College battle of the bands and will soon begin production on a brand new EP which will contain new recordings of existing songs as well as some new material.
