Fuel to the Fire is a power trio rock n roll band based out of both Nashville and Murfreesboro Tennessee. Their sound can be described as a mixture of an extremely unique group of influences that the 3 young men share, as well as the ideas of their own that each bring to the table .
Jon, Taylor, and Bruno have played together in a few bands since early 2005, forming Fuel to the Fire in Late 2006. Each young member of the group has already had success as solo musicians in different scenarios in Nashville, and have gained the respect of many along the way.
The rhythm section of the trio is made up of two brothers, Taylor Jones on Drums and Bruno Jones on Bass Guitar. Bruno is the youngest member of F2F, but if you were to ask anyone that has seen him play, they would say that his musical maturity totally eliminates any doubt that they had in him before. Bruno is a very aggressive bass player that has no problem filling up the gaps that come with a trio, but is also tastefully dynamic enough to know when to let the holes in the song breathe out. Bruno is a multi-instrumentalist that is fluent on the Piano/B3 organ as well as lead, rhythm, and slide guitars, with a little bit of bluegrass mandolin and banjo in the mix as well. He is also an accomplished brass player during his high school days, playing in both Trumpet and Tuba in a Marching band at different times, and also playing Trumpet in Wind and Pop ensembles at NSA. He has been described on a couple occasions as a younger version of the legendary Led Zeppelin member John Paul Jones for his musical flexibility, an honor he humbly cherishes everyday. His partner in time is his older brother and MTSU student Taylor Jones on drums.
Taylor is 2 years older than his younger brother and has been playing drums for the better part of his life. He was given his first drum set at 8 years old and has spent many hours listening and studying his hero's work and has taken private lessons every week from his friend Charlie Adams for over 3 years now. Taylor's drumming is based off of the countless influences he has spent hours admiring and learning from, such as Matt Abts, Buddy Rich and the Legendary John Bonham just to name a few. He is an in your face player that uses his bass drum as a weapon to help solidify the rhythm team he and his brother make up. He focuses primarily on being solid as a drummer, and not straying from the groove that is all too important in the trio rock rhythm section sound. Together the brotherly team of bass and drums come together in a way that could easily convince a listener that they are hearing more than simply three musicians on stage, and their locked in teamwork style helps solidify the full sound that the two of them and their leader on guitar make up. Last but certainly not least, the band is fronted by another Nashville School of the Arts graduate and current MTSU student Jonathan Grisham.
Jon is the front man for the group in every sense of the word. He is the bands lead and rhythm guitarist, vocalist, as well as the fire behind the songwriting. He has played his guitar, as the other two have, for the better part of his life beginning at around age 10. As a guitar player he has played on many stages during his time at NSA, and has done quite a bit of session work as well. Jon has proven himself to be the perfect fit for the classic power trio with his aggressive, yet soulful improvisation on the guitar, as well as his connection with the crowd on the microphone night after night.
Since their formation in late 2006, the band has been fortunate enough to play on many different stages primarily in Nashville and surrounding area with several great bands as well, wowing most all their first time listeners along the way. 2008 was an great year for the boys and 2009 promises to only get better. Definitely check these guys out live if you have the chance.
