BONFIRE

About Me


Cleveland's BONFIRE is everything you'd expect in an AC/DC act, plus some things that you may have never expected...FUN! We may not look just like 'em, but we sound just like 'em! Our shows are parties, plain and simple. The sound and reproduction of AC/DC tunes is first and foremost...we pride ourselves on the music being "Right On". The best compliments we hear are "I closed my eyes, I thought it was the real thing...you sound just like them"! We cover tunes from every album plus of course all the "Standards." However, keep your eyes open, or you'll miss the wildness of our unbelievable lead guitarist Jeff (our "Angus") as he runs all over the club, rolling all over the floor, on tables, duck walking on the bar, while not missing a note!
Bonfire is made up of five rock-and-roll-loving, AC/DC fans. Though there have been a few line-up changes, the present members make Bonfire the strongest it's ever been. Jeff Endemann, the band's lead guitar player, masters the job of Angus Young with his duck walking and strip routine. Wes Lauderback is Bonfire's bassist and has been involved in bands for most of his life. The thump behind the band belongs to Kenny Struhar, who also has much experience with local bands. The band's rhythm guitarist, Tony Tyminski completes the rhythm section and makes it the best it's ever been. Our singer Scott Mattocks will amaze you with his ability to go from the nuances of Bon Scott's whiskey drenched vocals to the raw power of Brian Johnson!
